Unfortunately I don't know to much about the internals. I bought it from a guy who's dad had it built for a 37 chevy pu and passed before the project was finished. I do know it was built from the bottom up to be this turbo motor from a very reputable local engine builder. The motor was ran on a stand for cam break in and the stored for several years. The turbo was also rebuilt with new impeller and such. Just was to cool to pass on and figured I had the perfect home for it already.

I wondered what he meant by "TJ's chevy" Thanks. I guess the best way to learn is to jump right in. Haven't messed with a turbo before.

That motor should have some good pull to it. I hopped up a 292. Love those inline 6 cylinders. You know how much boost that turbo is putting out?

Looks pretty sweet! Take some video once it's fired up and in the ride. Would like to hear what it sounds like.

The turbo is off a 301 V8 Pontiac T/A should only be about 8 pounds of boost from what I've been told.
