anybody smallblocked a d50? how about turbo'd one?
well..it took a couple years to recover from my colt build...and i finally got my nerve back to try another project. almost got one of the demons drug out of the woods...when this thing got in the way. same thing happened last time i went to get out a demon...except it was a stinkin colt in the way.
well..i came across a good deal on a fuelie 5.2 magnum/od trans + all the wiring harnesses + a few other odds and ends. this woulda been great in a demon body...but then i got to thinkin---fuelie huh? sure would be a good time to learn about turbos---geez..that would really rock a D50 wouldnt it! so here i am.....again!
after a few trial fit then hack then beat and bang sessions ive come to realize turbos would never fit in that engine bay. heck..im gonna be lucky to get a radiator in there!
so i decided that after everything is in there wired up and capable of driving itself onto and off the trailer...i'll fit it for remote turbos (or turbo). they'll live under the bed behind the cab.
shoot-my dad and i put a 440 in one of these back in the mid 90's (drag truck in the pic) so the smallblock street sleeper oughta be a piece a cake (yeah right).
this one gets NO paint-NO shiny wheels-NO traction-NO second looks! plain jane. it will get a cheapo black plastic toolbox in the bed (gotta put the air filters somewhere)!
stay tuned and see if i am able to do this-if i do pull it off-that should qualify me for an engineering degree shouldnt it?
comments?
suggestions?
input and guidance is always greatly apreciated
