Re: twin turbo 540

I've got a turbo setup in my truck...but only on 370 cubes.

I am planning to put together a similar TT 540 BBC setup in my Chevy II though.

Re: twin turbo 540

I have a really nice 548 I will sell you but you would just have to swap pistons to be boost friendly! I think I really want a bigger Motor.

Re: twin turbo 540

Nice! What kind of fuel pump are you going to use? Rear end is 3.25 tube? Looks stout... nice setup!

Re: twin turbo 540

yes 3.25 tubes dom running a external pump that's good for 1000 hp to start(its what I got) then upgrading to something that will handle 1500hp

I would think it was more about weight at traction. I'm sure HP an Torque wise you fall right in the middle of when a back brace would be recommended. I'm going to be watching this build.
