      get on the web and find some pics of exh.manifolds from a C-60 truck. I recall them using a complete different style from passanger manifolds. It seems like the runners and collectors were bigger too, making for better flow. You might get lucky and find something where the turbos can be bolted directly to the manifolds. I know of a place in Houston that has new castings for less than $100 each. I replaced a set on a Chevy Top-Kick and they were good quality pieces.

      Blow through seems to be the new hot setup. The twin turbo Camaro (3rd gen) that I am presently working on has a Holley 750 HP series that was built by CSU. They guarantee it to be close to spot on. They take all the engine specs and #s and come up w/a ready-to-run carb.
      I like the fact that they install air bleeds so a precise tune is obtainable. Once it's tuned it should stay tuned. The only problem I see is if it's tuned for warm weather, cold weather performance might be on the lean side. That's where air bleeds really help. Instead of pulling bowls and changing jets, you could remove the hat and swap in a different set of air bleeds in just a few minutes.
      Turbo Hen's car has the same carb, so you might see what he thinks as well.
      What heads/cam/intake, etc... do you have in mind?
      Go for it man. That baby would be a monster.

      well since im doing the rest of the car right now, suspension, paint, interior, wheels etc., i cant afford everything at one time. im gonna have to put low compression pistons in and probably some open chamber heads, mine are closed chamber. unless i hold out and get some nice aluminum ones. and im debating if i should go single T76 or just go with twin 60's or twin 67's. i want the car to be streetable as ill be driving it ALOT. if this type of set up wont be very street friendly, ill just put an LS1 in it. i want decent gas milage.
