For $80 it would be worth it just to have around to look at!

I love that old crap from long ago...my guess is it's aircraft, though a tank wouldn't be out of the question.
Man, the whine that thing would have would make a hard-core Cummins guy soil his pants - front or back, I'm not sure, though!

I'd contribute to the cause.

Ahem...that thing would be TITS for an old 'rod. Some truly old school, vintage motor like a Flathead Ford or Nailhead Olds (Buick? Can't ever keep those straight).
Maybe a bucket rod with that turbo and a 260D motor?
I'd make a great paperweight on top of one of those glass-topped 'engine tables'....they have the SBC, of course, but I recall seeing a (rather expensive) Ferrari version. Good use for the latter motor, can't bankrupt anyone after it's been bought, and can't catch fire and kill anyone! (I'm supposing, Ferrari engineering is, um, full of surprises
).

01-07-2010, 04:38 PM #8Anyone who actually gets that old thing to work on something with four wheels has my admiration. Any word on what kind of turbo it is?
