Glad to see another forced induction enthusiast joining up to compare notes with. I wanted a turbo setup for my 360 Magnum/'72 Valiant, but the lack of a welder (and welding skills) effectively killed that project for me, so I did what I perceived to be the next-best-thing, and ended up with this (see attached photos,) a Vortech centrifugal, blow-thru/carb setup. I haven't had it to the strip, yet, but it's ready to run down the track. It'll be interesting to see how much I picked up from the addition of about 8-10 pounds of boost. I installed a better intake manifold and swapped my cast iron 340 exhaust manifolds for a complete TTI header/H-pipe setup (X pipe wasn't available, yet.) I'm hoping for about a one-second improvement. It ran 13.35 @102 before.
As soon as I get a time slip, I'l post it on here.
Procharger is the only company that I know of who makes a kit for a centrifugal blower for small-block Mopars in A-bodies, and I had a Vortech blower, so, I did the installation myself, fabricating the mounting plate and plumbing here at home.
Does anyone have a kit for a 318/340/360 turbo setup in an A-body? You may have to do what I did and make everything yourself... not too hard if you're a welder, I guess. I usually can't even get super glue to hold... :angry7:
