Re: Project: Turbo 250
A big score this am, I found out that in 1984 the stock mech. fuel pump put out 6.5-8 psi for the 250 motor and had a higher volume of flow!!!! SO that means I wont have to run a electric fuel pump!!!!!! I can boost reference this one and save myself a few hundred bucks!!! But it has been a long night and time for me to hit the hay!

Re: Project: Turbo 250
Well not much progress but I did tear apart and cut up my brand new Holley 600 double pumper and complete all the necessary mods for the blow through conversion. I dont have the money for a CSU or EFI for that matter and think that there is some sense of accomplishment in doing it yourself.

Re: Project: Turbo 250
Thanks Mike!
Talked with the shipping company and looks like my bed will be here on Wednesday finally after waiting for almost two months so hopefully there is no damage so I can get it put on!

Re: Project: Turbo 250
I just bought a set of billet pulleys for the front... I cant wait till they get here on Friday!!! Should look sweet! I haven't seen any other 250's with billet pulleys either!

Re: Project: Turbo 250
HUGE DEVASTATION today! I was all super excited headed over to meet the semi to pick up my bed to be more convient for him to get around in the parking lot at the local Sam's club expecting to see this flawless bed that I have been waiting months for and this is what I get! It is smashed in on all sides! And the attitude of the guy delivering it... "No big deal that's what happens when you ship things they get damaged." And he refused to touch it since he didnt know how to move it. So I had to get it from the front of the semi with no equipment and lift it on to my trailer with my dad since his lift gate was broke!!!! Needless to say NEVER SHIP WITH ESTES!!!

Re: Project: Turbo 250
This is just a couple of photos of the damage they even stacked stuff on top and put board across the top and smashed in the bed caps!

 The other side is like that too and the fender wells are rolled under... its not pretty. I got a quote from a local company that paints pretty much most of the classic cars around here. Yeah a claim is being filed and we will see how it all goes...

Re: Project: Turbo 250
WOW that really does suck. It is truely amazing how some people would not think twice about causing that much damage to a very nice pickup bed. Was the bed shipped inside a crate?

Re: Project: Turbo 250
It was shipped on a mini sub frame that kept it about 6" up off the ground. even if it was inside of a fullcrate it wouldnt have matter the crate would have been smashed, This frame it was built on was even smashed up and busted and it was not skimpy by any means either.

Re: Project: Turbo 250
On a good note my new chrome alternator from AC Delco and my billet pulleys should be here soon, and I get to see the color in every light and (every angle :/) to make triple sure its the color I want.

Re: Project: Turbo 250
Great build! I am picking up another truck (this time a '68), and plan on stripping it down to frame and putting my air ride on etc. It currently has a 250 in it, and I was planning on going the LS route with it, but after seeing this, maybe I'll stick with the 250
 Very cool!
