That fantasy has crossed my mind more than once... one of Navarro's
turbo sixes WAS at bonneville, he loaned it to Craig Breedlove once, for
some undocumented (far as I can tell) 'spearmint.

3hp/ci, 6000 -- 7800 rpm depending on when and where you read. I think
the early single-turbo, 550hp motor (which I have) was high-revved (7000
+) but the final motor (twin turbo, 750hp) was 6000 or so redlined. It
appears at 45psi boost!

Umm I'm assuming when I get it to go, I will de-tune it to 400hp range
or so. Barney had (someone else's) bag of money and a 500 mile target. I
have some pennies and rusty nails and want it to last a bit longer than
that. 

The most challenging part of this motor to me is the O-ringed head
business, and a suitable fuel::air source. I'm favoring a huge-ass
carburetor like the original. Missing conn rods, will have to cough up
real $ for those.

Oh yeah, and the little detail of a car to put it in. I stay awake at
night kicking myself for not going into debt bidding on the transaxle
and clutch stuff.

I understand totally -


As to Rods - search eBay for:

NASCAR connecting rods

they have various one run only rods
showing up there - don't know if they'll
have the correct 'Big End' sizing tho -
stupid cheap for Carillo's - $175-250.

The AMC 360 rods can be had in
FORGED from MadDog Racing for around
$200.00 a set - a Bargain - .


Yeah, I'd say if you're going Transaxle
get one out of a PORSCHE - spin the ring
gear over to function having the engine
out front rather than out back - the 
914 owners do frequently
when upping the ante to a Flat 6 or V8.


A 'Big' carb is gonna' 'Bog' unless your
Turbo comes on 'right now' - & will be a
'Bear' to street - I'm presuming you want
to run all the intake bits that came with
the engine - 

if you don't mind a slight 'upgrade' -
find a 70s' Mercedes 6 with Bosch Mechanical
injection - drill / tap for the hard lined
injectors - and it will look killah.


Beats the crap out of 'pressurizing' a carb
and keeping it from killing the engine.


For a single Turbo - talk with 'Jamie'
@ www.mjmturbo.com

I have stats on his recommendation for the
AMC inliner - came out somewhere around $550.00
for the snail.
