Turbo slant six post
Oh boy, bringing this post back to life before I'm ready :lol:
I have been doing some little things to get ready for the install, like:
1. upgraded exhaust 2.25 with a "turbo" muffler. with an O2 bung for the wideband, (currently running narrow band.)..... I know I know, narrow band tells you jack, may not let me tune it, but it will keep me from turning the engine into a boat anchor
2. setup the boost reference mechanical pump.
3. bought the t's and fittings for the coolant lines.
4. acquired a high volume oil pump for the swap.
5. built a limited advance distributor. limited to 8* with a pretty heavy spring to start with and a loop to stop it at 8 (8* at the dizzy is 16* at the crank).
6. starting to build the J pipe and the carb hat...
hey Cudavert, I'm for sure not worried about putting GM parts on my car...pretty sure that "GM" didn't make the carb OR the turbo...kinda like saying a NP833 is a MOPAR trans, nope it's a New process trans.. :) even some GMs had them. No worse/different than putting a grant steering wheel in your ride :lol:
Keep in mind that this is a LOW budget thing for my daily driver ( one income 3 kids..... you get the idea) really just something to play with
