haha I am sure nothing was meant by it but didn't look good.
I am feeling the need for some true MRA action. When are you having a gathering?

I will add this to your cost list: transmission and axle. The very first time you hook up, BOOM! I will make sure i video my first wot run when i put my track tires on. The big block should be about the same amount of torque your turbo small block will put out. Hehe. _________________ E30

And remember that a motor built for a Turbo is going to run like a 70's emissions pig without a turbo. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

We will see how much i can squeeze out of an emissions pig.
At least turbo to na is just a cam swap away. Damn bump sticks. I will say this to the $1k project build, if all you run is 7-10 psi, you probably dont need an intercooler. And a blow through holley is easier than you think. Upside down manifolds, repurposed carb, all you really need are the turbos, valves, and fuel delivery. And a couple extra engines laying about. |

| I don't know much about turbos, but I think someone told me to pack the inside of the pistons full of peanut butter. Creamy, not chunky. |

Mmm, creamy pb....
Id say just boost it and find out. It seems to be a general rule that most engines will handle a measly 7-10 psi without blowing the manifold welds. |

Aaay! That's from the other thread!
Also, chunky peanut butter is the way to go. Real chunky peanut butter with oil, no Jif hydrogenated BS. |
