A lean burn Distributor has no mechanical and is able to accept vacuum pod and breaker plate. Simple and safe. 20 degrees initial and a 14-16 degree pod... Well you get the idea.... FBO plate on zero should do the same thing.

I thought maybe there was a new product out there with inverted flare ends or something.... :lol:

Street ells on master cylinders?

With a short or Zero timing curve manifold vacuum to the distributor will act like pressure retard.....

Glad to see more on this one! I lost the original thread and was wondering how it was going!

I forgot to mention another important piece for longevity at 700 plus range. Good pushrods! Manton are not overkill! It is piece of mind for a larger investment.....

Hoping you've already got oil system mods. Peace of mind in billet main caps with studs and a girdle. Some will say no need of girdle but there has been evidence of main cap walk in the HP range you are looking at. Indy or B-1 heads would kick butt however valve train is proprietary.

I used a live shaft Lean Burn distributor. I added a breaker plate and vacuum pod from a regular electronic distributor. Fixed timing at say 19 or so with a vacuum advance set to manifold vacuum-pressure. Not sexy but it works.

I definitely recommend sealant. It is probably of no concern to your application but if the car involved spends any time outside in a winter environment snow can and will get up under the hood on the engine and can melt and leak into the crankcase between the intake and head. Then you are...

The only reason I can think of is if you build it with minimum oil pressure and the feed to the turbo bleeds off too much....

For less than the cost of the roller conversion you could come up with a later model LA roller or magnum block. My blow through turbo 318 has Wiseco flat tops and 360 J heads, head studs, cometic MLS gaskets, steel crank, larger late model rods with ARP bolts, jeep timing chain tensioner and...

I had the Houston R/V turbo setup on a 400 in a 71 Polara. I used a crossover and the modified passenger ram horn manifold that had the turbo flange welded above the center ports. It was a pretty clean setup but no way it would fit an A body. Maybe if the turbo flange was moved to where the...

How close do reversed cast iron manifolds come? I know that does it for the LS crowd.

Crank pulleys for Mopar are pretty universal including the 426 Hemi and big block. You shouldn't have any trouble finding a crank pulley for a Hemi and it should bolt to your crank hub.

Pretty sure it is this... "514ci turbo stroker motor and floor shifter 88mm turbo and blow thru setup"

What intake manifold? On single plane manifolds the sequential firing of #6,#5 and #7 can deplete the cloud for #7 in some rpm ranges.

I'm with you on that, not so much high pressure but at least lots of volume. One of my machinists always says all that extra oil pressure and volume is just a mini dyno robbing power. I said I would gladly give up those few ponies for peace of mind....

Supercharger or turbo? With the turbo requiring an oil feed I would go HV. With a supercharger having its own lube I see no need.

Late model cover with an early balancer or the other way around? Find TDC and mark your balancer again and go from there.... Does your engine have the bolt on stamped steel timing tab or the one cast into the aluminum timing cover?

First gator you hit that intercooler is toast! :) Can't wait to hear it run!

DAYYUMMMM! You like breaking parts and torturing tires!

Any thoughts about how you will boost reference the fuel pump or which pump you will run? I use a lean burn distributor with a vacuum can added. Run straight up timing with manifold vacuum so it retards under load. Engine has been on the stand for about 4 years now or I would tell you how well...

Crank and block are the weakest links. It sure looks like fun!

Nice work!

Check out the products available at HotHeads. There are also some industrial exhaust manifolds that exit at both ends rather than bottom dump and are quite handy for things like turbos. You may have seen these manifolds on the air raid siren pics.

All three of my 75 A-bodies had 8.25 rears with 2.45 gears. The 4 speed car sounded like a NASCAR wind up and when I hit O.D. I realized the tires were not speed rated.... I found a set of 3.55s and a posi from a Dakota on ebay and they fit with minimal trouble in the Dart's housing.

If you are looking for ideas on pressure retard I just used a "Lean Burn" distributor which is a live shaft with no advance and added a vacuum pod to it. Basically the only timing will be what you set for initial. At cruise or part throttle and idle you set your vacuum advance to the total...

I can't wait to see some road test data on this. I had a Houston RV turbo draw through setup on a 400 B engine in a 70 Polara a few years ago that really screamed. With a 750 carb it got 7.5 PSI and with the 950 it got 15 PSI, no wastegate. I built a 318 blow through that is still on the stand...

Turbos have been spinning thousands of RPMs with bushings in industrial applications since before most of us were even thought of. Unless this is a serious all out race app the ball bearing unit is a luxury that may actually have potential for failure before bushings. There is a guy back east...

Many ways to skin that cat depending on how much you want out of it...
