Picked up a turbo on eBay the past month(on the left of picture). Now the working on finding a use for it. Its sitting next to a stock 1066 IH turbo. May be used on a Ford pulling tractor. You can find deals on ebay occasionally, got it for $155 shipped.

I'll get some more pictures this weekend. Could probably use it for 2 engines, but I'll just have one turn faster. Currently have one just a bit bigger on a pro-stock IH 1066 with a 466 running about 4500. I'm hoping that a future Ford 401 from a 9600 will turn this one running about the same speed.

Your right Jay and I have given up here. I tried to get people together and NO ONE i repeat NO ONE came. I actually talked to George about stepping down. There are over 30 new members since I took over but no one cares.

Maybe I will nominate you for the new leader position HUH!!!!!!! LOL

Youse guys and gals shy or what?

The best benefit of having a state chapter is the ability to meet new folks, help each other when the need is there, and to promote a friendly, family atmosphere for all FTE'ers that visit.

If you want some folks to chat with, say the word and the B/S gang will be happy to chat with you and increase their post counts.

You ought to put that on a 300 cu in Ford six cylinder. There is plenty of underhood space to work in and it's a real torquey motor!

I say buy another turbo add BOTH to a sweet 302, then dropping it in a early F-1 or F100!
