I got a call tonight about a TT kit for a 70's Vett. It has t-70 turbos, custom headers, race gates, and 3 1/2" down tubes. The price is right but would it be worth the effort to adapt to my truck? I know ever thing will not just bolt up but it would be a hell of a start. What do you think?

 

Not that I know turbo's for crap, but I would be concerned with two things. twin 70's seem like they would be a bit big for a low reving big block... If you were to make that motor run to say 6000-6200... I've heard the allisons don't like to be spun that high... much past 5k and they get angry. But if it all works... that thing would be animal... so DO IT

 

The kit was set up for a 470ci, mine is a 503ci. And yes it will turn 6000rpm though power drops off right under 5500rpm.

 

Do It!!!!!

 

Ditto, it would be awesome.

 

OK!!! You guys talked me into it!!!!



























Like that was hard to do!

 

Good for you.

Good luck with the TT project.

 

Good luck, that would be a fun project.

 

I'd save your money, almost nothing will fit your truck plus buying used turbos = bad idea. Spend the money on a good ball bearing single, you'll be money ahead and happier in the long run. Just my .02!

 

Everything is brand new and never been used. I already assume that the headers won't work. But what the hell, its worth a shot.
