Slamm'n twin turbo '65 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mbrund · 10-10-2010, 01:06 PM

Just found the site while looking for body parts. All I can say is WOW, yet another place for me to spend way too many hours browsing

I have been working on this project for a few years, had to lay off the last two years due to other projects, but got started again a couple weeks ago.

It's a 1965 C10 Short fleetside. Has a 355 twin turbo built by Nelson Racing Engines, generates 857 bhp. I keep all my build updates at my car domain page.

68GMCCustom · 10-10-2010, 02:03 PM

now that'd be a hand full!

Completely wicked! What transmission are you going to be running? (Oops - I didn't notice the trans picture earlier when I asked the question). Also please advise the size and brand of those front tires. Everything shows a great deal of creative engineering and quality execution. Looking forward to more updates, and welcome to the site.

I custom fabricated it from scratch.

Here is how I got it (the turbos, the head/turbo/wastegate flanges):

I then purchased all my stainless steel mandel bends from Stainless Works. Cut the pieces to size and Tig welded the headers, turbo elbows, wastegate piping, and downpipes together:

Bending the oil and wastegate control lines:

More pics and text at my car domain link on building the exhaust.

It's raked about 1/2" front to back. So its about 2 1/2" at the A pillars, 2" at the back of the cab.
