68 twin turbo dart project.
So the first thing I did was drill out the spot welds for the lower radiator support and remove it. Then I bent up a piece of 1 5/8 chromemoly tubing and hang it in place of the lower radiator support. Then its just a matter of a couple of tabs and then bolting up the turbos. At first I tried to put the turbo under the fender to keep clutter to a minimum. Well there isnt enough room for exhaust and generally I just didnt like it. So I am having a custom radiator made and installing it in front of the radiator support and raising it 5 inches. The weird thing is the radiator I used to run will actually be smaller, as far as surface area, than my new one. This way the turbos will get some fresh air from under the bumper and it just works out better. Tomorrow I will finish connecting the headers to the turbos. Hopefully.
