'66 Slant Six Turbo Build

stop the beast said

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.

THANKS I am going to spend the money on forged pistons because the first machine shop that had my block and heads, were two thirds higher then the second guy, I found to do my block and heads so in a nut shell I'll be saving $500 plus on the work,so the way I'm looking at it now is that the Pistons will only cost me 400 Stupid Way of thinking, but the moneys going to be spent anyway. I have 1.44 exhaust valves ev8. because I have to get the intake valves special made $30 apiece I was thinking .100 bigger than stock. just to keep the valve flush with the Harden seat. going to port and polish the head. doing EFI for the e85thanks Dave your a huge help
