Title: Turbo setup?
Post by: patracy on August 08, 2007, 03:17:48 am: I've got a different question about turbo'ing a block. I've tried to bid on a turbo setup for the engine three times now and have been sniped at the last second. Are the manifolds from the gassers the same? This one looks similar.

I'd be just as happy building my own turbo setup than trying to keep on bidding (and loosing at the last second) on a used turbo setup.

I probably have a TD manifold. IM if interested
