    I'm starting back on the F100 after I get Action Girls 51 back on the road. Who is making a adaptor to put a 350/400 Chevy turbo on a 1959 389 Pontiac? I don't want to run the 4 speed that is presently hooked to the engine for every day driving. Traffic ,towing car trailer, camper ect.

    Maybe this is a stupid question,but why fight gravity? Why not just use a Buick-Olds-Pontiac bolt pattern turbo 350 and be done with it? Not much demand for them,and they are cheap as dirt at junkyards.

    Because they won't fit a 59 389 without an adapter. 64 was the first year for the BOP pattern blocks.
