Sorry I was referring to intercooled cars on the big VAM/35# injectors. It would be better to find a stock turbo motor of any kind and reuse its pistons if possible. We did this on my friends SVO and it cost very little.

What are you saying no to? They (Big VAM) did come with the 35# injectors. Excepting the 84 and early 85 SVO (oops forgot about those). I was trying to tell him good places to look.

If you want the BEST turbo project you have to out do this guy, pics of my Volvo head/2.3 Ford engine, almost done, but I would start by finding a way to get in touch with him and asking him some questions.

That Volvo head thing is crazy. He did a ton of work to make it fit, but it worked!

I always wondered if you could adapt a V8 Taurus SHO head. Its bore spacing is just about identical, and it's a D.O.H.C. too.

I was referring to the fact that you are giving out 1/2 correct information is all.
I fully understand that you are trying to help, but IMO you should have all the correct information to lend.
