got the adapter plate done today for the throttle body to the intake, oh that's right i didn't tell y'all that i'm converting the old junk chevelle to a turbocharged fuel injected wild thang 8) 8) i made an adapter plate out of t6061 aluminum to mount a 72mm throttle plate, i'm waiting on the -8 injector rails and injector bungs to show up and it's off to the welder for the intake. i'll post pics as soon as it all comes together. i guess i should also post pics of the turbo too......... it's freakin huuuge!!! stay tuned :D

:shock: :shock: :shock: all that power seems like a waste to me sitting in a tractor puller, how quick do you think that would propel a 2600lb 65 chevelle?? :twisted:

:D I'm with you on that F.H..... I have been to a couple PULL shows over the years and i do respect the engineering involved etc. just not for me.. they do draw good crowds and they sure have a fan following.. same deal with monster trucks.. BIG FOOT was (still is ) based here right up the main drag from me.. BIG BUSINESS for sure... I just never got into offroading, 4-wheeling... dirt and mud..and i never had a c.b. radio either :roll:

there's a guy here locally that has three two wheel drive pull trucks, all 3 have 14/71 blown arias hemis in them, one of his engine setups costs more than i make a YEAR!!! but he chooses to wind the p*ss out of them at 20mph :roll: if i all of a sudden inherited that operation i'd sell the trucks, keep two of the engines, sell the third, and put a lenco in my chevelle :twisted: rev her up to six thousand rpm's and just slide my foot off the clutch :twisted: it would make for one helluva show at the very least. i did get into off roading at one time, tore up a pretty good 69 chevy short wide 4x4, yes i had a cb in it too :oops: but i did later sell the truck and made 17k fixing it up for the guy :wink: now it's too nice to drive and just takes up space in his garage :lol: :lol:

What's neat is there are cylinders under it too. It's a Russian radial engine. I would not like to pay for the spark plugs, run the valves, or be the engine builder and explain why when it dropped a valve, it cost you 150 grand. :shock: :lol: :lol:
