I have a late 72 Slant 6 w/904 and stock 8 3/4 rear. Just had the head redone, already had hardened seats, all cylinders at or above 120psi. I currently have a Super 6 setup on it w/electric choke, but am having the original 1bbl manifold milled to accept the whole Buick Turbo 6 draw through setup. I'm trying to get my facts straight on what is required to successfully run it. Here's what I've found concensus on:
-Does NOT need an intercooler
-CAN use stock fuel pump
That's about it, LOL!!! Everything else I can find, folks are arguing about every other feature. My setup does have the inlet/outlet for running coolant through it from the engine, and came with a stock Quadrajet carb. I was planning on running a J pipe from the stock exhaust manifold instead of cutting it up to weld on a flange. I also know I'll have to run a T off of the oil pressure fitting into the turbo, and draining back down to the pan. There's a heck of a lot of fittings on this Buick setup, many of which I'm not sure that I need for my situation. Does anyone have a good diagram of what IS needed, or photos of their setup?
