Turbocharged 350 in 79 vette

[MYBAD79]

current state (a big mess)

other than the frame and part of the birdcage.... find the stock '82 parts in this picture

That engine is in the stock position, can't move it back because of the ZF shifter location or I would have. Yes, the firewall takes up that much space.

see...

Why not do something like this?

I realize it's not the best way to do it...But I'm thinking any boost is better than none at all....Only bitch would be running the duct work up front.

TT- your car is off the scale... Oxymoron of the day- "Twin Turbo" and stock" in the same sentence!!!

custom 1 off piece, just like the log manifolds.

The intake resembles a moon crossram but it isn't/ In the first couple of pics the carbs are missing.

I don't know how you to someone so far to cast them for you, but they must have cost a small fortune...

NO experience doing this but just a general comment about swapping maybe truck or some other manifolds with a stock output offset to the rear....so if you swap R-L the offset is now in front??

good for SBC maybe, dunno anything about BBC....

:huh:

The valve covers???:nuts:

Nope, those are 84-86 magnesium perimeter bolt covers

The valve covers???:nuts:

The oil filler cap looks like a stock GM part...LOL

 

[SmokeyVette]

Mount 'em out back, where the spare tire is supposed to go, won't really need an intercooler then unless you absolutely want one:idea:...

Here is a link to my big block twin turbo pics. Plenty of room between the inner fenders and the firewall for the turbos, plus you can mount them high so you dont have to worry about a scavenge pump to return oil to the motor.
