'66 Slant Six Turbo Build

Dave Yacenick said

Yes I'm trying to keep it 8.0:1 but custom is 950.00 for Pistons. using molar h beams also. Going fuel injection. Not sure on how big of turbo.would have been nice to get a roller cam for it. But oh well. I'd like to hit 11.ss it's going in a 65 coronet 500. any suggestions what would you do differently if you could?

The biggest thing I would change is spending the money to have an MLS head gasket cut. I hear Cometic is accommodating this now but I haven't followed up. I'd also go with a big turbo, the /6 heads don't flow well so the more flow the turbo has the better (plus bigger turbos = lower boost for more power).

The rods and pistons are not cheap, however, so far I've found they are bullet proof.
