Jelky!! if i wasnt a diehard F&M guy...i'd probably have a 65 or a 66 Chebby wagon...luv the lines...and everything looks better sittin on the floor !! nice progress!!...im jealous...i never get to work on my cars:banghead3:
Nice ride! Can you tell a little bit more about your planned engine setup, like hat block do you use, what injection system, planned horsepower etc? I know these are a lot of questions, but it is not so often that you see a fully custom made, twin turbo injection V8 setup in an classic wagon. (just this sentence is already cool!)
Thanks for all the praise. I really appreciate it. I have custom built a few twin turbo set-ups in the past. Using moderate boost 10-12lbs I plan on using a stock 400 sbc block and vortec heads. I always use good main studs ARP it seems to help in the upper boost levels. I already have a Holley Stealth intake, 58 mm throttle body and an Accel Gen 6 DFI controller. I still have to buy the 42lb injectors. I will also be using two air to water intercoolers with this project. I do have a few neat plans on this engine set-up using all stainless piping, electronic dumps right after the dowpipes as so forth. As far as the piping goes I basically mount the turbos then run the pipe . This is not easy but once you do one car it does get a little easier with experience and a good TIG welder...I have been using turbos, blow off valves,intercoolers and wastegates from E-Bay. My luck has been really,really good with them. Now I would not use them for a serious racecar. I can post pics of the Mustang set-up I did last year as I have the whole build in pics somewhere around here...Please dont get me wrong I have fabricated and raced quite a bit of hardware in the last 20 years and have a bit of experience so it may all be easy to me but I do believe anyone can do anything if they have the right attitude and stay positive!!..As I stated in my intro I will help anybody with anything as long as we stay in the right direction...I hope this has answered your questions....
Thanks and hello. How are the high winds treating you??? Were are getting them again today and this evening.... Yea the Poncho wheels are just rollers for the wagon for now...They actually came with the car...Nice wagon you have as well....Jim
