Boxed frame and going to do some more chassis work. Front suspension is cpp tubular arms with sway bar. Custom disc brakes on all four corners . I will take pics as it comes together.

djracer · 03-16-2016, 07:28 AM

Sounds sweet! Is it still trailing arms in the rear?

azdude1964 · 03-16-2016, 02:18 PM

Wasted Income · 03-16-2016, 02:49 PM

I've got a turbo setup in my truck...but only on 370 cubes.

I am planning to put together a similar TT 540 BBC setup in my Chevy II though.

djracer · 03-16-2016, 10:28 PM

I have a really nice 548 I will sell you but you would just have to swap pistons to be boost friendly! I think I really want a bigger Motor.

azdude1964 · 03-16-2016, 10:41 PM

I got all the big parts already.

azdude1964 · 03-20-2016, 03:59 PM

Ok got a little work done today. tore the 514 gear set out and put a 350 in running a Moser bolt through third member. working on a bigger fuel cell next. here are some pics . that's one of the turbos a teaser..lol

azdude1964 · 03-23-2016, 01:57 AM

djracer · 03-23-2016, 07:45 AM

I would put a back brace on the 9 inch.

**Gary V** · 03-24-2016, 06:04 AM

Nice! What kind of fuel pump are you going to use? Rear end is 3.25 tube? Looks stout... nice setup!

azdude1964 · 03-24-2016, 12:29 PM

yes 3.25 tubes dom running a external pump that's good for 1000 hp to start(its what I got) then upgrading to something that will handle 1500hp

I would think it was more about weight at traction. I'm sure HP an Torque wise you fall right in the middle of when a back brace would be recommended. I'm going to be watching this build.

azdude1964 · 03-24-2016, 09:43 PM

don't plan on back brace do to the DOM tubing and the narrow rear . also not using a trans brake .

azdude1964 · 04-12-2016, 12:40 AM

started on the hot side of the turbo's t6 flange 4 into 1 2 inch sch 10 stainless

1Bad72C10 · 10-20-2018, 07:12 PM
