Turbo'd 347 Windsor small block (Dart), Forged Scat Crank and H beam rods, JE dished Pistons. Basically need an assembled short block. It's an AU, I'm planning on pushing the stock heads to their limits, hoping for between 500-600HP at wheels.

Basically budget. There's a few cars in states running gt40p head with well over 500hp. I will eventually put ARP heads on it.

Brad Tilley at Tilleys Motorsport(?) in Brookvale builds some nice Ford/Chrysler smallblocks. Not sure if he's done much turboing, but his brother Cameron has a turbo slant six VC Val that goes pretty hard. They've got a chassis dyno and an engine dyno for tuning.

They both race in the Historic Touring class with a XY falcon and a Valiant pacer, so they can build moteurs that last more that 8 seconds if that counts.

If you do call them, tell 'em Keith (Black) recommended them.
