Twin Turbo 1971 Scamp Project

Driveability? My car idles happily at 475 rpm, (makes 12-inches of vacuum for the power-brake booster,) has gobs of low-end torque (stock 318 converter) and basically has the road-manners of a stock 318, due to the very mild cam.

My contention is that you can have TONS of fun with a 3,000-pound hobby car without breaking the bank or reverting to swapping in a non-Mopar engine.

Then again, maybe I'm just gettin' o-l-d... LOL!

Bill, I love your car and your post! It's so nice to see how much fun and success you have had by sticking with your setup and upgrading it along the way.

I've been building cars for 30 years now and I appreciate your effort 110%!

My buddy Al just placed a class record in a little propane injected turbo Slant 6 Dart this weekend at Wilmington and it is his success with his Slant 6 and my Turbo Buick experiences that got me motivated with my build.
