datzenmike Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 My first car was a '64 225 slant six. This was in '69? I made an adapter plate and put a 318 two bbl on it and split the exhaust manifold into duals with Walker Continentals and a 9 1/2" Taxi clutch. Didn't add any top speed but would stay with a 283 up to 90. 2 Quote Link to comment
difrangia Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Each one must only be putting out like 8 pounds boost. If you can not do it right with one, 3 is not going to make it better. Say it aint so !! 1 Quote Link to comment

goes2fast Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 My son and his partner had a garage in socal's Gasoline Alley. They discouraged Vega V8 conversions but "the customer is always right." Almost without exception the customer wanted a really beefed up V8. All had the same fate. Upon paying for the conversion, the customer rev'ed the engine to full throttle, Popped the clutch and warped the car structure from front to back. The only exception was one customer who eased the throttle, put it into gear, took off and rev'ed the engine as he turned the corner. He split the car in half as he slid into the concrete power pole at the end of the driveway. Here is the only pic I could find of mine, not the best pic, but no ripples in the body. 370 horses in a vega was fun! 4 Quote Link to comment
