Very cool. Talk about a lead sled; 5300lbs?! Holy hell, thats pretty heavy. At 725hp, what do you think it will trap in the 1/4?

I love retro swaps/conversions like this.

Awesome work! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Thanks guys.

I think on a drag radial it would probably run high tens at 125 or so but I doubt I will even bring it to the track.

I fitted up the passenger side today, tried to keep it somewhat symmetrical.

Thanks!

And yes, somewhat It's not exact, especially since I don't have right and left hand turbos or fabbed manifolds.

Thanks guys. Yes I will use the stock TB (cleaned up and painted/coated).

You can buy an adapter plate but I will just weld up the flange and mill it down to fit the outer profile of the stock TB.

I almost finished up the cold side (just need to add bypass valves). The drivers side turbo piping runs under the engine and Y's with the passenger turbo just before going through the core support.

These parts were fusion welded because I like the way it looks and it's plenty strong for the cold side.

Sorry to disappoint you but I plan to use them

Same type that APS supplies with their systems, I think they work great.

Jim let me know. I've got a few bottles of 100 year old scotch so I can have a few cocktails in the backseat while you drive me around for a bit.

You might want to ride shotgun though since that's where the bar is-
