Draw through carb... blech
It needs some sort of V8 turbo to keep "true to the spirit." I think ;)
There was recently one for sale locally, but I just couldn't get motivated to go take a look at it. It's probably still sitting in the woods somewhere.
2 door B-bodies are highly appealing to me, though.

That's all kinds of awesome.
draw through can be fixed with fool injection.
But.. damn draw through is hell on compressor wheel shaft seals.
hmm? why's that?
Turbocharged buick 3.8.
Precursor to the GN
You guys wouldn't know fun if it were sitting on your face.
I've had no trouble from compressor shaft seals with my T/A and it's almost the same system.
Ususally poor maintenance causes the turbo bearings to coke up and fail.

Never knew that one existed.
Hmm... right by my house. I'll have to check it out this week.
