Minimalist Slant Six draw-through build...

Hey everyone. I have a 225 Slant Six with hyper-pak, 500CFM (detuned) Edelbrock, Electronic ignition, 904 Auto & 8 3/4 in my 65 Barracuda. It’s a real clean, rebuilt motor that purrs right now but is low on power due to elevation and, well, because it’s a stock slant LOL

I live at 6200ft+ and decided that my solution for more power will be a draw-through turbo.
Because I’m insane. I just don’t want to cam-out and mill the piss out of a great stock engine if I can do something cool for a bit of power that’s also relatively bolt-on.

It’s a vintage Rajay/Airesearch carbon-sealed turbo with the Mopar RV-style split-plenum manifold, turbo will be rebuilt before run. Manifold has a spring blowoff that will need a redirect pipe because, well, flammable A/F mixture is bad.

SO; here’s my bullet points on what I know I’ll be doing.


More advice is welcome... any caveats/horror stories? What else should I do? Am I missing any major steps?

Thanks in advance!
