can’t wait to see the end results…
Great build.
Do the GN guys get pissed about swapping to a v8?
huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge turbo
awesome man, hope to see grandma out and about soon
Wow, nice project! Don’t let the Buick die-hards give you a hard time… while the turbo 3.8 kicks ass, a turbo SBC will kick even more. We’re workin’ on a '73 Camaro w/ a 91mm turboed LS1, gotta love turbos bigger than your head. Haha.

Good luck with the project!

g/l on the project
i want to see this done it looks tight as hell. how do you turbo a carb i havent really looked into it before it seems interesting
turbo carb is called a blow through. some modifications have to be done to a carb to make it work. there are companies that make them. CSU carb and C&S carbs sell blow set-ups. One of the moderators on turboforums.com set up a carb for me and that is what i am going to use. its a holley 650 dp
