    Just wanted to get some ideas for a turbo set up or a super charger. The wierder/older the better! Inlines and Olds (a few caddies too) would be greatly appreciated

    Thats AWESOME! Those exhaust manifolds look a lot like the ones on my '53 industrial motor, and I was thinking about a twin turbo set up too, thanks a lot for that pic!

    For a second there I thought the auto union didn't have a blower, but then I noticed it. Any pictures of the gear system for that? Pressure oiling or anything specific?

    Would love to see something like that on a Flathead V8!

    Fuel Injection and a turbo on a 283?? Sweet, reminds of a 215 Turbo Rocket.

    Are you running a McCulloch on your roadster? It looks pretty sweet.

    Here are my favorites, 215 turbo rocket, and '62 Turbo Charged Corvair.

    keep the pictures coming!!

    Weird, you say- how about a front drive blower fed by 6-2s pumped to a reversed flowed nailhead.
