To you turbo guys its grate to see such interest in turbos. I think there
grate as I have posted before I have two turbocharged 350s at present one in
a 79 blazer 4x4 and one in OLE Shep a 58 fleetside . The 58 is my fun truck
it has a free turbo, no wastgate or control . Boost starts at 1700 rpm and
tops out 22 psi. At this point I must tell you this is an engine I built to
be turboed with low compression blower
pistons, water injection, boost spark retard etc. Any one interested
turbocharging should do there homework FIRST its cheeper that way. There are
several good books on the subject. As for I 6s I have not turboed a GM 6 yet
but have done a Chr---er slant 6 225 ci stock engine with a 7lb wastgate and
it ran for 260k before I sold it. Also be careful of kits very few of are any
good.
