turbo V8, ultimate b2200 conversion, "Stranger". Final pics

From what I've read as long as the battery has some voltage in it they can be brought back to life. I have 2 red tops that sat for 5 years and only had 6-7 volts in them. Put each one on a charger set at 2 amps for a few days and seem to be holding a charge just fine now.

Thats good to hear, about the Optima's.

Since I fried mine today what other off the local autoparts store, shelf are a good battery?

And, yes you are seeing the remote turbo setup.

I learned a trick from colonel Saunders.... Put a good battery on the charger and take jumper cables and parallel over to the optima.... Apparently optimas won't take a charge below certain volts so paralleling it tricks the optima into thinking its got 12 v and will charge in a trickle format saved a few red tops that way.... I run optimas in everything and at times I wanna chuck them when they piss me off......I miss the old lifetime warranty program they had.... I use yellows and blues too my Mazda is running a deep cycle blue out of my jet boat.... I still like the yellow tops the best....

One more question what's the theory behind a triangulated four link bars and a panhard bar? I have never seen that before


Trux looking good though ...

Good spot, completely missed that one. And also a good question. Would think the arc of the panhard bar would bind with the function of the triangulated 4 link.

damn you! hurry up with the pics you tease! lol looks really great, and i too am really curious to see the remote mount twinturbo setup in the bigger picture.

Thats because its a watts link.

Here! Here! Here! is your damned newpaper, I mean pic.


Me no likey take pic's of me, lol Asian wife's.

Notice the garage door bulging trying to hold back the awesome power of the Ford 427w sitting on the engine stand inside.....lol.

Wow, that is killer looking! Thought that might be a Watts link cause in the previous pic the panhard bar just seemed to be a little short to be just a panhard bar. So, if I am seeing things right - 2 turbo's feeding into 1 intercooler then 1 pipe going up to engine.

Yep, you got it.

In the beginning I wanted to do two separate lines with two intercoolers, but the plumbing would have killed me.

There was very LITTLE room for the carb from turbo inlet pipe to go beside the frame then behind the front wheel.

I had to use these stops on my rack and pinion to keep the front wheel from hitting the pipe as I turned.



It took two on each side to make it work.

yeah watts link nice but man i still have never seen a six link.....turbo gnarls...that think is gonna launch to the moon

After its done, one day, I plan to either just buy new wheels, or take the rear wheels and have them made wider as I have about three inches to play with between the frame.
