    That radiator slaps you in the face, doesn't it!
     
  2. I think I would have found a shelf in the garage to stack all that spare pipe.

    Right on Zman!

    Doc.

    I like anything fast! and looks like it will be fast when its done? sbc twin turbo on kdw's sounds like a fun ride in that car, but the radiator needs some black paint, and no spikes.
    Remember guys there was a time 4-71's and 6-71's and even 8-71's that some people on here run were'nt traditional! Just be happy its that car beating you and not a HONDA or MITSUBISHI! :O

    I know.....new technology makes cars go fast. IMO a 6-71 just looks better.

    Givin, but you cant detract from the guy for his work. Blowers take power to make power, exhaust is free. Just need to hide it better, full fendered car is more suitable for sure.

    I don't think the whels and tires are that bad. A grill insert would help the front end out a lot. I'm not really a turbo guy but It's nicer than the coupe I have stashed in my shop so I cant talk to much shit,

    -new technology makes cars go fast-

    What new tech? The Mallicoat Bros ran a turbo Willys gasser in the 60's. Turbos have been in use since WW1, first patented in 1905...

    I think Mr48Chev is possibly on the right track, but a blow thru system on that holley ( just looks like a common old vac sec, 4bbl ) would blow all the gas out of the bowl via the breathers, and not into the engine, they are designed to have a vacuum not a pressure area in the throats. I think its just a work of art as it stands.

    The induction and discharge ports of the turbos have a RED caps on them.
    Wonder if he is working on a injection and manifold system and has to use this vehicle as a daliy driver. :confused:
