    Oh, Yes I will deff stay with the China turbos for now, they have no issues making power in the past. A bit on the heavy side but Ill see what I can put down with them on tilt.


    Displacement....well its just a 351;)

    Its coming along, motor is done I need to get some trans fluid next weekend and put the motor inn. Im hoping my old piping still fits. The afr's geometry is a bit different then my previous cylinder head and it raised the exhaust just a bit. The turbo headers I had needed a bit of grinding but they worked out.

    My fear is the piping will be to high, then Ill have to redo the piping and probably to a water to air :/ I rather just go boosting at the moment.

    We will see soon

    Are you going from a 302 to the 351? The difference is not hat big only 8.2 to 9.5 but could cause an issue. I dont have build thread on here with my new setup as its been a long time coming but maybe I will start one soon since the motor will be in the car within the next 2 weeks.

    Hell sounds like you should have started one, I remember when you first posted this a long time ago

    I don't think I have the commitment for a build thread lol Ill support yours though!!

    Im going from a 351 to a 351 Dart, only thing concerning me is the raised ports on the cylinder heads :)

    Motor is in, waiting on a mid-plate and I need some good exhaust gaskets so I can start bolting together the turbo kit, Im going to definitely do some pipe work I just hope its not too much. If I have to do the whole thing Ill probably go crazy just like I did with the block. SBF.jpg #ad

    Just read the whole thread and its a great read. Are you going to run an intercooler this time? Also, did you decide to go the E85 route or stick with pump gas? Long time coming getting your car back together, I am sure it will be worth it.

    I have done a lot of work, every single thing has been done from home, built the headers here, painted the car, the roll cage everything. I have purchased tons of tools from notchers to pipe benders, tube band saws and belt sanders but I love the craft. My friend and I have done all the work here at home its never seen a shop and I am very proud of it. He does all the welding you see there, and of course I kick him down with some skrilla for his time.

    Pretty incredible looking work. I like the headlamp top covers. I'm going to start acquiring metal working tools as well. I love working with metal, my skills are not anywhere close to yours. But practice makes perfect!

    Thank you, the headlamp covers are actually from Scottrod so I cant steel any credit there but all the piping etc all done at home by my friend and I.
