    Nice iron heads too.



    Probly pretty stock internally.

    But I'm sure it'll make a 10-year-old go "WOW" at a car show, and isn't that worth something?

    I'd still like to try something like it.

    8psi = 20 Hg in the other direction.

    one is ice, one is toasty warm.

    subarus played with that for 9 years.
    the carbs no boost ended up winning...for 16 more and counting.

    still a nice build, it is definitely for show and tell.
    had a torque line of a diesel...because it was one.

    at my high school that is how we set up the turbo big block we ran on our dyno mule. only reason we did it that way was it was all we had didn't have a carb hat for 2 carbs so we improvised

    the engine was weak though it was a stock '78 RV 454 rated at 120hp stock wih the twins and 12psi it made 450RWHP stock cam and stock heads. we had fuel balancing issues though and leaned out and killed a piston

    we redid it after replacing the pistons with a single carb with a dual inlet carb hat and the engine made the same power and ran a lot better untill it hung a valve lol

    I've been chuckling about the "only" 450 hp comment. While I have some concerns that this car would make 450 once before detonation puts holes in one or more pistons....

    this car "only" had 500 hp and is roughly the same weight as the t-bucket

    and it goes 200 mph (okay, maybe not anymore, but it did in its career)
