Got ripped off. Looking for a new idea for the inside of the engine. Stroker maybe?

Thanks! This is all great advice. I do appreciate the idea of turboing the Slant, but it won't work with the cam I have right now, and I really don't feel like losing that investment. Also, I'm pretty sure I won't have room for the turbo with air-conditioning. I've looked at just about every turbo build out there, and haven't seen someone that has done both.

Chuck, if you really want the benefits of turbocharging, you could use a stock cam; turbos work well with a stock cam. That would allow you to sell the aftermarket cam you have and get some of your money back.

As far as the packaging goes, there are LOTS of turbocharged vehicles that have located the turbo at the rear of the vehicle, just in front of the back bumper. That seems to work fine. That would free up the engine compartment for the A/C compressr and lines...

If you REALLY want the benefits of a turbo, there's a way...

My '64 Valiant has run 12-seconds flat @ 112mph, turbocharged with 15 pounds of boost. That would be acheivable with stock pistons, and is about 350 horsepower.

You pays your money and, you takes your choice...:coffee2:
