Brainstorming a combination.

I have been searching for information but haven't found anything.

Thinking of putting a 283 and glide back in my 65 Malibu. OK, OK, don't freak out..

The plan is to have aftermarket aluminum heads and a twin T3/4 turbo setup. Built glide with somewhere around a 2800 converter and 3.42 rear gears.

Does this sound like a logical idea? I am wanting to build something diferent, but still seem to have all the original qualities, besides the whole drum brake thing..lol.

Give me your thoughts on this idea. Seems to be the opposite of pro-tour. But it would be completely streetable and make good power.. I know most here will say Big Block and 6 speed...lol

Sounds like an awesome idea, would love to see the pic's of the build as you do it.......twin's shouldn't be that hard at all.

Great idea, Now did you mean 383? Either way sound great I would find a 4 speed auto to put behind it. It'll make things on the street a little easier plus you'll have more gears.

I second the updated auto...you will thank us later for talking you out of the glide

A glide is great for drag racing but is not so hot on the street. Why use 2 gears when you can have 4 ? It will keep the car out of the single use category.

The glide would be SWEET! I think your going to need more stall than 2800, and definitely BIGGER turbos...
