well the good thing about racing a pick up truck is that you can never lose unless you race another pickup.
If the other car wins, they just beat a pickup truck. WOW.
If you win, you're still only going 45mph.
race em in the dirt and see who wins
Even though you're probably slower, you still got displacement all over them suckers. pop your engine in their car, and shizam it'll haul!

did i say race in any posting?
i think not !
have you read my specs,
410 torque @ 2200/2400 rpm
that is 460/power stroke power
from a 6 or my 6 can tow 11000 + lbs.
my boost starts at 2000 rpm
max boost around 3600 rpm
revlimiter 4200 rpm
all way to low for racing,
PERFECT FOR TOWING
to me a race truck [600 ci, efi & nitrous]
the truck is a driver/tow/cruser with
good tunes
on low boost i make more power thad a 351
why did i turbo a truck to learn about them
maybe twin turbos on my street/race car
1974 capri tube chassis efi 460.
this truck made 278 rear wheel hp or
333 flywheel hp.
410 rear wheel torque or 490 flywheel torque
i am 45 years old
i tune on a dyno NOT on
the street or track
I make most of my own parts
I DO MY OWN WORK !
i help honda guys {344 wheel hp}
and i build things .

I want one, what do you think it would cost me to have someone do it as i am in no way that mechanically inclined? I figured to get the motor rebuilt and turboed would still be cheaper than buying new right?

Big Block, did you O-ring the heads?, Lower the compression? I have never ran a turbo but all the stuff I read (years ago) recomended doing these things. I think lowering the compression was just so you could run more boost. If I remember right they said you couldn't safely run more than about 7-8 lbs. with stock compression, but I don't remember the base line compression.
I was refered to your sight in reguard to the question about this set-up and I envy your ingenuity. I would be interested in doing it to a vintage carburated truck so most of what you did doesn't really apply to what I had in mind, but who knows, an EFI motor in a 60s truck with a turbo HMMMM. I will continue to see if I can find something that is a bit more of a bolt on. Thank you for sharing.
