Finally had some time away from the body work to work on the turbo setup.
Here is the valve baseplate. Just have to get the correct fasteners I need to hang the reed valves from the plate, then should be able to weld the whole thing together.

You're a complete pain in the *** at times, but you do some nice work.

Yes Jimmyray, that's the Martin system. It was actually developed by a forum member here named bohica2xo. Sadly they never got a Mopar small block system into production.
This sort of adapter was also available but the orientation of the inlet and outlet tubes are not in the best positions as well as is offsetting the carb.

That one above was originally Rotomaster, later sold by accel. They did make that setup (special exhaust manifold) for Mopar at least SB in trucks, anyway

By the way, the more I see you complete on this build, the more I wanna take a crack at it myself. Seems a whole lot simpler than fongooling with blow thru.

Yeah, I also like the look of the system, totally old school to me. I like to see all that stuff sitting up high on top of the motor. One thing I have done is move the turbo over a few inches so it is a virtual straight shot out of the compressor , into the intake manifold.

are you gonna mount a heat shield on the valve cover to prevent further heat soaking of the oil?
Glad to see more progress. It's comin together nicely.
Nice work.....
Nice progress Glenn.
Jimmyray:
Those two Martin systems are survivors for sure. The one on the wood table was a truck system, and is missing the suction side elbow from the upper intake to the compressor inlet.
The second system is actually a Corvette unit. The suction elbow was a crappy compromise to clear all of the OEM equipment. The exhaust manifold was also different.
The picture on the wood table illustrates why the system was such a success on the bottom end. I had kept the single plane runners, but reduced the height significantly. This increased the velocity during low speed operation. The system had a significant torque increase @ 1900 rpm over the OEM dual plane intake.
