I FINALLY started my 69 Twin TurboCharger project.

Sorry guys. I have had a lot of family issues to deal with the last few weeks.  I hope to get back to working on the car very soon. I started working on the cold side piping... I'll post a few pictures.

Well I finally made a little head-way.

First up I installed a 2post in the garage, I plan on modifying the rafters but I think we will be selling the house before too long, so I will deal with for now.







I'm struggling getting back in the hang of welding aluminum but I managed to clob together the rest of the cold pipes last night.



Plenty of room..

Really Wilde build!

Very late on this thread 'smart remark' time, twin turbo Gen2 Charger, may have already been done...lol...

Good luck with the build and don't worry about 'ruining' a Charger, in my book you SAVED one!!!

Hi Wilde one.

Your thread is a classic idea indeed. we limeys were talking about this very build, back in the 90's!
After seeing the amount of pipework involved in the tight confines of a B-body, I'm glad we didn't!!!
We are gonna go C-body instead.
That way we can remove the inner fenders and build a more basic header system.

My next concern is the MH motor and its lack of hiponess...
Yep I'm all for a 'budget build' but we have all done that and it don't work.
A '250 horse' cast crank poo-motor will fail before it reaches the first traffic lights, (440 yards).

If it was a 72/74 steel crank, heavy-rods, low comp truck motor, then all would be good in the world!
Next issue is one I discussed at length with Robert Landy, the BAD exhaust flow with iron heads.
Once you start 'blowing' an iron head motor, it gets real HOT, valves fail and seats crack due to POOR exhaust flow.

His very famous father recommended 1.88 Max-wedge EXHAUST valves and leaves the intakes at stock 2.08.

He assured me, ''anything less is a waste of time'' with FORCED induction...

Some good information right there. Not sure of the year of the 440 but it came from a motor home...
