Turbo'd 383 build thread
 

I'm getting close to finishing up my car so I figured I would go ahead and make a build thread. A little history... I officially put the car down back in October 2007 when I pulled the transmission to beef it up just for the heck of it. Then a couple months later I decided to pull the motor and either make it a 383 stroker or turbocharge it... I ended up doing both :D. So as you can see, it's been nearly 3 years since my car has ran. I have been slowly buying things one by one and now it's getting verrrry close to the end.

Sweet set up, what kind of forged internals? I love turbo cars. Clean engine also

Thanks everyone. I'll have more pictures later today.

It's a Eagle forged rotating assembly. Dished pistons, h-beam rods, 9:1 compression.

Looks like it's coming out great! Definitely be checking in to see how it progresses!

Wow!! That engine is cleaaann. I'm diggin that monoblade too :thumb:

that midwest chassis rear is so awesome. thats on my list of future mods. cant wait for more TURBO pics :)

Subscribing. Nice work man!

I approve of this build!! Great Job!

Lookin' good Ralls! That should be a fun ride :)

Dumb question, but why did you choose that ratio of gearing for the 9"?

Awesome build! Are those just ported stock heads?

And the latest..

Dude I am digin that mono blade TB. What and where did you get that? That thing is going to be a flat out bad ass monster!!! Nice build, Keep the pics rolling.

Well typically for a turbo car with an automatic you want to keep it a low gear ratio. Helps keep the turbo's spooled up during those long gears. I probably went a little lower than most do though. It's a street car and I like to keep it at low RPM's.

Yep, ported stock castings. I spent a solid 24 hours on porting those heads. Making sure each port is consistent and flawless. The valves are stock size but upgraded to Manley competition intake and severe duty exhaust.

It's made by Arizona Speed & Marine. Once you see the price you might turn around. I got it brand new for $350 and I was not going to pass that up.

AS&M makes the monoblade. You should be able to find one online.

How much power are you expecting/looking to make?? Goals?

im lovin this car , you gona post some nasty vids for us to drool over?

You should PM me with how much you've spent so far on this build.

I am very curious as I've always wanted a 383 turbo build...

I am drooling to see your results! Good, clean looking build!
