Ive been planning the build.
I used a Quicktime scattershield/bellhousing. I had to machine an adaptor pilot as the chevy shaft is smaller than the ford. The adaptor also moves the pilot bearing out about .100" if I remember. I will post more pics of the underside once I get it on a lift.

Finally built the baffled plumbed tank; should be 27 gallons. just got to install with feed and return lines. Using 1/2 lines with Aeromotive 13212 regulator. Getting closer to dyno time. After it's dialed gonna put 3.50s and discs in the rear.

A small piece of silicone got into the turbo oil feed and killed the flow of oil and in the process of ruining the bearings the slop ruined the compressor and turbine wheels. I'm putting a gt4294 in place of the 4202 for faster spool. engine is running out of fuel gotta put in the aeromotive pump. To anxious to see the dyno numbers to put the intercooler in. I'll keep you posted!!

The idea for the intercooler was because even at no boost the air is heated from the turbo. I don't know how much but I'm a glutton for punishment. i've been collecting 5.0 FI stuff for a future windsor turbo build or swapping the injectors and doing a Y-block FI / turbo conversion. The high 14 AFR is no boost minimal throttle at 1900 rpm. 1st gear is 2.97.

OK took it to work; at 80 MPH car is pulling about 9-10" vacuum and spinning at 1900 RPM. The morning temp was low 70s and afternoon 81 degrees. 51 miles round trip MPG was slightly over 15 with no hood! AFR high 14s. Those two overdrive gears on the t56 work! Gonna fit the intercooler on and machine the compressor housing for a 76 mm wheel then Dyno time!

I put a guage on the exhaust pre turbine and got about a 1-1 back pressure to boost ratio. Not sure if thats right but after the new wheel goes on I'll see if I need a smaller A/R for the exhaust turbine housing currently a T6 1.15 A/R.  Love the car. A 1957 farilane y- block turbo will be next (I know its not an FE  ) If anyone is interseted in the jetting specs and mods of the Holley I can post them.

BTW I'm running 10-1 compression and no pinging on 91 octane on my tune.

Im using a Snow performance Boost cooler stage 1 and using the 625 ml/min nozzle. (pump says 300 psi)

Garrett 4202a 74/84 T6. Took it for a spin at 8lbs WOW!Full boost at 3500 RPM. In 2nd at 45 MPH I floored it and spun the rear tires on boost.  I changed the powervalve to open sooner and went with smaller emulsion tube jets. Its hovering around 13/14-1 AFR and about 13 at boost. Gotta fine tune the running and boost retard curves. Water/meth and more boost after tuning!

10 lbs to start. Headers were a nightmare; took cutting and piecing two sets.
