what headers are you using?

They are shorty headers for a Dodge Dakota. A couple of the pipes had to be moved in order for them to fit.

Killer project. Glad you posted it.

Few updates.

Bought a 360 out of a 1991 ramcharger. Should make for a nice 42 cubic inch upgrade with a roller valve train!

95% of the fuel system has been run.
A new Holley HP main body is on its way along with the rest of the stuff to convert my carb for blow through.

Mounted the FPR, the angle iron is kind of fugly but it does the job.
-10AN lines are a big PITA to route.

Cool project! That car is going to be a ton of fun with that turbo on there.
Any idea what the HP will be at with the turbo? How much boost? I hope you can get some video of it on the road for us to enjoy!

I'm pretty sure the HP will be low on this 318. Smog heads and 150k on it. Going to give it as much boost as it will take.
When I build the 360 i'm hoping for 500hp or more.

More parts today. Time to start building the carb.

I couldn't leave well enough alone. So I took the dremel out and used some polish to clean it up a bit.

Figured it was time for an update.

Hot side is done for the most part. Just have to run the exhaust under the car now.

Moved the alternator,installed the Edelbrock intake, tranny cooler, finished the oil feed and return on the turbo and a friend got the rest of the pipes welded up and the waste gate mounted.

More pics to come, I need some sleep first.

She's getting there. She should be able to really move when done.

About how many horses would you say at the wheels when it's all said and done?

I really don't have a clue what it will put down with this bone stock 318 smog motor. I'm hoping 300hp or more at 10psi.

I'm more concerned with getting it all installed, leak free and running good. Then put the stock 1991 360 in it and hopefully put down 400hp+.

After the body work is done I will build the 360 for boost.
