shure would get things happening re tourque and hp asap

not really, a turbo will make more Hp in such a small displacement. on average it takes 32 Hp to run a blower, it takes almost none to spool up a turbo. on a small displacement, the extra air volume from the blower wouldn't bennifit, on a V8 it would.

just like the Fords, Mopar had cars and engines made in australlia, and the parts are far superior to what we have here, rare here in america to find, and somewhat rare over there, is slant 6 HEMI heads, or the stock 250 2v ( Ford ) head from Oz is considered a high performance add on in america because they have a removable intake ( all American heads have an integral intake ) that accepts a 2bbl carb, and flow much better. there is an Aussie 225 / 6 that is dynoed over 600 Hp, turbocharged, no NOS. Turbo's are becoming popular for the Mopar and Ford 6's. my '67 200 will get turbocharged when I get the parts for the turbo I have.

Now that's what I'm talking about, cool and different! And I just happen to have a friend with a wrecked T'bird turbo coupe in his wrecking yard! Let you know how it comes out!

that 2.3L turbo should work nicely. get the intercooler too. It's a small Garret T3 but perfect for 6cyls.

only reason I havn't gone with fentons/ dual carb is because I don't know how the heat riser works with them, with stock the 2 manifolds bolt togther, the aftermarket offy manifolds have the provision to bolt to the exhaust manifold but the fentons do not. that setup would deffinetly make my engine look better.
