71 Duster 360 turbo build
The engine was from a circle track car, had a small cam, stock(I was told) pistons, and big valve j heads with a nice valve job. It was already faster than the 440.
sorted the electrical, swapped to a denso alternator, and took it to the track. Low 13’s.
So I moved forward.
Gt45, magnum manifold on the drivers side, and a 2” crossover which I’ve read should support around 1000hp on a turbo build and keep spool up as apposed to 2.25 or 2.5. Passenger side manifold is a center exit type after reading everyone’s difficulties attempting to fab up the forward facing magnum. I believe Subcom said something along the lines of “that bend put more grey hair on my head than...”:lol:
Keep in mind, this project is my first time welding so it’s not pretty, but it works.
