Twin Turbo 1971 Scamp Project

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.

Thanks for the kind words, Dave.

I was 43 years old 30 years ago... so, I've seen a lot of water go under the "automotive bridge" since then...

My racing partner is a year older than I am. Both of us have had a lifetime of normally-aspirated V8s, and wanted to try something a little different for this "bucket list" Valiant...

A couple of years ago, some enterprising young guy put a balls-out turbo'd Supra motor in a Camaro and got it featured in Hot Rod.

I thought it was super-cool, but you should have seen the mail... LOL!

Every engine has an "Achilie's heel." I wonder where the Slant six's is (relative to absorbing egregious amounts of boost)????

We many find out...:cheers:
