Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project
lol. I gotcha. I've got a lot to do. It's mostly going to be parts collecting, then finding a welder. Ideally, I'd have to install everything in a couple day span, so I could keep driving it to work, since unlike most people here I think - my A-body IS my car. So it usually has to drive somewhere every day. I want to have everything ready to go to drop in, that's why I have extra manifolds, etc... to mock everything up, then mount. I'm trying to decide now how i want to hold the weight of the turbo. Going to the exhaust is great and all with a secondary mount, but it is still held to the block with those little studs on the head. That's a lot of leverage suspended out there. Ideally, since I plan to keep my mechanical fan, putting the snail up front is not necessarily going to work. I forgot the fan existed. I may be mounting it more up towards the top of the engine bay on the same level as the carburetor. Lots of thoughts to go through.
Also I can never abandon projects since i live in a small place. I either have to bolt stuff to the car, or leave it in my way inside. Bolting to the car is easier.

The only thing constant is change, and with that comes a new theme for the engine and stuff. Purple is a great color, but once again, I'm changing it. Got some bleed to contend with here, but this cover is mostly done.
Anyone know off-hand what threading is on the low oil sender on the block? I want to T off that to get to the inlet on the turbo.
Absolutely. I'll hopefully make something that's easily copied. Like said above with running 15lbs and not needing an intercooler, I don't know if this build will have one or not, since I'm just shooting for about 8.
And then one last Q to anyone with experience, I'm thinking of just walling off the powervalve so it is unused, and going for larger jets. What would be a good size to start with for a slant and this carb, assuming it is Naturally Aspirated? I can then go from there to get some larger ones to run.
