Big Improvement To A Chevy

[superchargeddrt]

Hey Guy's

I was at my weekly car show last Friday and I saw this, a Chevy S-10 pickup with a big block Mopar (Read "Real Engine") in it. I like it when we can put a thumb in the eye of the Chevy guys. They always find it humorous when someone puts a Chevy engine in a Mopar or a Ford. Check out the exhaust cutouts on the fenders.

I always said I'm gonna find a '32 Chevy and put a Ford engine in it.

Dam it looks like it's open headers dumping in the front fender...

Looks like maybe a turbo? Don't see the hair dryer, rear mount maybe? Strange combo. If it is a turbo, the guy took the hard road, so much easier/cheaper to build a turbo SBC. Don't see many turbo BBMs. Looks like a "Farm truck" kind of thing but super low budget. If it is boosted and it works, it probably flies.

I can just see the comments now - "Why waste a good engine in a crappy Chevy".

Actually they are exhaust cutouts (It actually has a full exhaust).. My buddy and I were looking in the engine compartment and we were saying that it's a perfect candidate for a twin turbo, still a lot of room in the engine bay. By the way, did you guys check out the roadrunner on the fender?
