Hi my names Scott im a long time lurker at this forum.
I just scored a 79 buick turbo setup that I plan on installing on my 250 with help from this forum!
I found a thread by Greybeard that showed the same setup I have. I've built and tuned motors ever since I can remember but have never took on a turbo install so I've got some learning to do. I picked this setup because for a beginner it seems like tuning may be a little easier than say a blow through.
The 250 for now is stock with a fresh rebuild. Its in a 52 chevy sedan 2 door with five speed OD manual tranny, Jaguar front and rear suspension, the gears are 3:23
What do you guys think about running a quadrajet with this setup? Maybe block off the rear barrels? I can always adapt to something else. I really prefer rochesters and Carters over any Holley any day of the week.
I assume a factory HEI would support this? Maybe a hotter coil and good wires?
I plan on building another 250 or possibly a 292 with a good turbo matched cam, forged pistons, head work ect, but that will come later.
Here it is:
