Have them breathing through a custom sheet metal hi-ram intake, 268/274 cam, 2⅛ headers, 3800 convert, and scratching my head for two years trying to set the maps on the ECU for it to handle red light to red light. The pains of going too far :)

They're out of business, and even if they weren't I hadn't planned on blowing my wad on one head:wtf::realcrazy:... Insane power tho!!!!

Yep. Been checking it all out and as much as the TrickFlow would be nice it looks like the Eddy Victor heads and the EFI intake is what I'll go with. It's capable of both low and high RPM power. And the added benefit of the smallest combustion chamber I can find, 72cc. Higher the CR the more...

Exactly what I have been told and seen almost exclusively till I was reading a Holley forum and this guy had a Perf. RPM on his vette. He was going over EVERYTHING needed to swap to MPFI from his ECU to custom crank wheel, his tables, I mean it is an absolute amazing wealth of knowledge. Only...

Oh absolutely! If and when I go boost I'll be changing the entire "respiratory system", I always try to think of engines as an organism, intake, tb, injectors, cam & liters (solid EDMs), and probably springs too. That is good advice though, just use the same intake as if it were getting a carb...

I have stayed away from efi because while I fully understand how it works, tuning them seemed more like wizardry/coding than mechanics. It took me years to really feel like I was competent at tuning carbs. But as aftermarket EFIs become less complicated and I am advancing in my wizardry, it...

Gotcha. Exactly the same engine I'm working with 383 factory 1x2 manifold, did yours come with the HD727 also? Wondering why mine came HD stock. Figured that would be the 440 or a custom order Hemi that'd get the HD stock. Or maybe the heavy duty wasn't all that heavy duty....

First question: yes it might be my first turbo, I say might because it's a WAY down the road interest. I have a solid 69 Sport Fury project car that is gonna take up to 6-7 years to finish I'm guessing. Like everyone money is gonna be what makes it take so long and once I have that much time and...

Oh yeah, on the transmission end gonna go with 4 pinion front and rear planetaries, upgraded bands, and as many friction and steels as I can get to fit. 727 is pretty bullet proof from the factory so I'm hoping that'll do, this is where I'm least confident actually, I am gonna be rebuilding it...

Crossbolted Mains side tapped for 4 bolt, 1/4" hardened girdle, 4340 Molnar crank and rods rated for 1200hp if I remember right, 2618 diamond pistons, all hard edges of the block chamfered to relieve stress risers, I'm gonna do everything I can think of to stiffen the rotating assembly and block...

Probably have my head in the clouds a bit but while it's NA within a whisper of 615 or so and with 10-11 psi boost should be touching 850. That really depends on how well I can fill her lungs. I'm ordering TrickFlow 240 heads and as well as they flow on paper, reality sometimes gets in the way...

Pedal Box!!!! Ding Ding Ding! Didn't know these existed. Thought it was all the newer pedal with the potentiometer built it. Thank you man. Sticking with the MPI because down the road when I go with a turbo I'd need two stealths to handle the fuel needs and MPI is cheaper than two TBs. Thanks...

I'm wrapping up the paper phase of my project and just starting teardown and a pretty big problem has struck me. I'm going to join the cult and stroke out the 383 to 492 (+.040" and 4.25" throw, completely unnecessary to say but I enjoy thinking about it), doing a old meets new resto-mod build...

Yeah STS still makes the rear mount turbo kit, that kit was what got me thinking turbo in the first place. I was thinking mid-mount at the crossover and keeping all that heat in the WABAC (machine). I can't find any of STS's compressor maps anywhere so that kit went out the window. That's the...

And I do plan on using a Holley or equivalent aftermarket efi

All good points, thank you. I'm not looking for a 1,000 hp b block, I've seen the cars that look like they're smuggling a couple top secret engines out of Boeing. I want to run a couple turbos to compliment the build not cover up where I cheaped out. Believe it or not my problem has been trying...

I don't know why I didn't get an email about all these replies... You came recommended earlier as a source of info for turbos but you did it on the exact same car I'm planning. Mine is a 69 sport came with a 383 that in time will be stroked and the twins added. I'm curious if you went single...

I used to be that way. I got a settlement from an accident where I was ejected from the car and broke my collarbone, I have NEVER ONCE ridden in a vehicle since w/o a seatbelt, and I tore through the cash like it would never run out. Well it did and I developed a serious and lasting distaste for...

Oh God, first thing out of my mouth! According to him he didn't think I was serious, where as the neighbor came with cash in hand. The reason I think he did it is longer to explain. He had been in a car accident as a child and his settlement was in trust until it matured, I'm assuming that was...

Thank you, glad to be amongst like minded people.
