turbo build/ mild restore
Picked up a 71 plymouth scamp with dodge dart body parts on it. Heres what I'm starting with.
First thing I did was tear apart the front end it was all over the road when I went over any depressions in the road. Found all the ball joints where bad and both the outer tie rods where bad. The front shocks where also shot. So this is what I installed.
Probably cant tell but QA1 tube upper control arm and hotchkis shocks. New outer tie rods too. Once the front end was tight again I moved on to making it run right. So I rebuilt the carter 500cfm carb, but it just never ran proper and I always ended up smelling like raw fuel. So out with the old in with the 21 century.
Got the fitech 600 power adder. Aeromotive inline 360l fuel pump with jegs inline fuel filter. 8an supply line and 6an return line. Looking for some more power then the 318 can produce so force induction on the way. Picked up a hx40 hair dryer to help out.
Started working on plumbing the intercooler/piping
Bought a synapse bov, my buddy gave me his old tial waste gate, bought some dodge dakota header to flip them for the exhaust. I still need to fab everything up on the exhaust side but thats on hold until I get some of my body work done. Heres what going on with that.
I got both fenders, the hood, the trunk, and both doors ready to do a final primer and block it out for paint this week end. I'm doing a sublime green pearl, with satin black hood, grill and all the trim and mirrors. Last but not least on the project is willwood front disc brake converstion, will wood master cylinder and proportion vavle.
Thats the scheme of things right now I'll post some more pics after the weekend once the paint is on.
