Awesome!!! Cant wait to see it after the rebuild.

The members from Argentina really get into the inline 6's. They simply can't afford the V8's they say. They have a race series down there that have turbo'd sixes.

Your project is very cool, can't wait to see and hear the truck after your finished as well.

We used pistons for a 307 small block in my 250 motor. 1.94 intake and 1.88 exhaust valves. It's just a lot of fun, and more so, it's not a V8

i wanna see some numbers. i mean it looks great sounds ok but lets see the goods. quarter mile....0-60...hp...tq... please man id like to see what all your hard work has done . congrats on a great build lets see some more.

Last week I started digging in the garage for the turbo I have been saving for my next 63 engine ....If it only makes 5-8 psi it should still make a 250 feel like a V8............maybe better...Keep us informed...

def nice, im building a 87 305 single turbo. i have long way to go but should have turbo on by fall. just not sure what software to use yet to tune. any suggestions?

[boucher racing]

i finished up the throttle wire cable pulley pivot system. I wanted to try to use the original gas pedal and firewall linkage. I fabbed up a bracket fastened to the carb stud with a pulley that acts as a pivot for the throttle linkage. It works well, moves smoothly, opens min. to max well with no play.

That's hawt. I want to turbo my 327, but this would work!

[boucher racing]

I plan on locking the HEI out around the 20 degree mark. I have a AEM wideband coming, so some major tuning soon. Lockout for now. Possibly a BTM box in the future.

Too sweet...I love it!

[Pop's C-10]

That is cool

I am finally getting this thing tuned. I installed a HEI advance kit with the light weights and the strong springs. I set the timing to 12 deg and it is fully in at 25 deg. big thanks to TLOWE (inline turbocharging guru) for getting me in the right direction. I took it out and it is awesome. I have yet to push it or go WOT. I am trying to lower the boost to max out at 7psi. Here is a short vid of a drive by.

Thats sounds awesome! Looking forward to seeing more.

I'm smiling this morning after listening and watching your video! Great looking and sounding truck.

Are you using any vacuum advance or just initial +mechanical to have all-in at 25*?

the total 25 degrees is : initial 12 plus 13 mechanical. I have the vacuum plugged. TLOWE has informed me to hook up the vacuum, it will help with cruising. I will mess with that later, I am having too much fun right now.

Your truck is awesome! I have been tinkering with my 67 for over 2 years now and want to put a turbo on it. I have the turbo along with a clifford 4bbl intake and headers but not sure which direction to go. Your idea with the stock intake/exhaust look like a good alternative I hadn't even considered. Any updates? Keep up the great work. Subscribed

I wanted to keep the stock look of the intake/exhaust manifolds, just make them flow better. I hogged the factory 1bbl out to accept a 2bbl. I figured I would try it, if it didn't work, I would buy an Offenhauser. It seems to be working just fine. I believe with the Clifford, you cannot run the factory exhaust manifold, so running a simple J-pipe, as a charge pipe to the turbo would not work.

I have changed the springs out in the HEI and it runs even better. I had the heavy springs and it was not advancing quickly enough, causing a rich bog. I may even try the lightest springs and see how it reacts. I switched out the 31 for a #28 squirter and changed the accelerator pump cam to the white one in position 1. It is all fine tuning from here on, the AEM uego is a huge help. I highly recommend.

That thing is cool!!!

First time I've seen this thread. Your truck is very cool indeed!

[tropa]

[Junkpyl]

Very cool, I can't wait to see some more updates on your truck. I like the stock look with subtle performance mods. Keep up the great work.

[AllenKarber]

Very,very,very cool!! I love it!

[MBEXHAUST]

Very cool I have a 6 truck and was looking to sell it. After seeing this I could see my mind changing. Nice work.
