charlie, There are lots of people making gobs of horsepower with twin turbos on GM engines, if the head gaskets will hold 30 psi of boot 200 should be a breeze!!!!!!! And then there is Nitrous to cool the intake charge. Truck is looking fast already.

Its possible, but not likely that I will use this setup. It just gives me inspiration while I'm building the truck.

Frank, We had a great time with your visit. You are welcome here anytime. You helped me better understand the blower referencing for the fuel pump or regulator if we use a blow through carb setup. Chuck, There will be plenty of Y-Block information on the car. Here is a mockup of the roll cage.

I had a chance to stop by Charlies last weekend. They invited me to stay over New Years Eve for dinner and a Movie. I had a fantastic time, the hospitality and the dinner was outstanding. The new Truck is going to raise some eyebrows at the Lakes and the Salt Flats. Very professional, and slick. Nothing , and I mean absolutely nothing, in the world is going to be more fun than the look of horror on the faces of the Generals Brainwashed minions when they see the Y-Block FORD in that truck.  If you get a chance to take a camera when he opens the hood, aim it at the Scrub lovers when they first see it. The photos will be priceless. For years we've had to endure Scrub powered Fords, charlies gonna turn the tables on them. It'll be GREAT!! With one of Tim's engines in it it's going to fly.

You sure make quick work of a cleaned frame Charlie... I've been considering sneaking a gantry lift into my garage for pulling bodies, but I think Corinne might not see the practicality.

Charlie, Sound like good clean fun to me. I have no doubt you will reach your goal. Thanks for sharing. I too have always wanted to put a Ford in a scrub... A nice Ford blue big block in one of their flagship cars (camaro or a vette) and enter it in all the car shows. My way of getting back for all the classic Fords defaced with a scrub engine!
