I would hate to have your tire bill.

Turbocuda, that looks amazing!!!!!   You'll definitely have to give us the details of that entire process and let us know how nasty the car is once you get everything finished!!!!!

That looks awesome!!  Please give some more info on all of your mods.  What exactly do we have there??      Looks like it is going to be a very unique car!  I like!!

Dude! Nice! I was trying to look at your pics on Moparts but couldn't see a damn thing.

You're located in NC right? I'm Raleigh.

I'm kind of a newbie to old cars and probably don't know what the hell I'm talking about in the slightest, but in the next year or so, I was planning to get ahold of a 1970 Challenger or Cuda. Plans? Reilly front end, Keisler transmission, Heidt IRS, 18x10s in the back, 17x8s in the front, Baer brakes, aaaaaand... a twin turbo small block. I want something that will handle corners like a mofo.

Any info on your setup and your plans would be nice. What size engine do you have? If it's bored and stroked, what was it to begin with? How much boost? How much HP/TQ? Being a newbie, I still can't tell an A/LA from a B/RB yet. I can tell you what a slant 6 looks like though.

Awesome!!!!  Thanks for the specifications of it all.  I'd love to run a turbo or twin-turbo setup on my 340 eventually.  I'd love to hear those turbos spooling up as I blew by some TT Import.
