Re: [Amc-list] did tom say TURBO!!!???

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

Anyone interested in how a turbo six with a blow-thru setup drives 
should contact Clarence Milstead (cmilstead@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). I think 
he's in Arizona? Anyway, he has a 1971 258 with turbo setup for sale 
(unless he's sold it already). His problem was the BW trans (an M-35 or 
36) was starting to slip from age and he was concerned about it 
slipping. Didn't want to build another engine (I recommended he build a 
72+ 258 short block and transfer the turbo to it), and he wanted even 
more power. I don't think he was running but 5-6 psi due to concerns 
about the little air cooled BW trans, even in a Gremlin. Since he had to 
change everything he went with a V-8 conversion instead. Like I said, 
last time I talked to him he was considering selling it. If you have an 
iron BW trans sitting around (or an M-40 from a 290/304) it should bolt 
up to the M-35 bell.

I wonder how it performs. Blow through carb huh.
I wish he said how it drives.
