Anything new from the straight 8 hot rodders?
Hi everyone, this may seem rude,like looking over shoulders or peeking under garage doors, but I was wondering what our "Staight 8 Hot Rodders" (alleycat, Chopper Johnny and others) have been up to? I'm not quite ready to tear into my 263 yet but....Anyone tried the super-/turbocharger route recently? Lately, I've been spending way too much time watching E-bay for Mustang/T-bird M90 systems , and I'm convinced it will work. With the scoop/air filter and blower on the right, piped down to the intercooler, then up the left side to a blow thru 4-barrel on a fabricated manifold.Oh yeah, the pipe to the intercooler needs an aftermarket blow-off valve...with flamethrower!! I'm actually not looking for "big" power, maybe 180hp at 4000? 310 lb/ft at 2500? If the engine passes a visual inspection,(it's supposed to be a "good running motor") I don't plan any internal mods, like to add Pertronix multiple spark ignition.If money wasn't a concern, I'd go fuel injection,but...
