It is a
blowthru Turbo set up for the AMC 6 that
Randall AMC - those 401 Gremlin
builders -
put together. Article states they couldn't
'romp'
the Turbo 6 since they'd blow
the
trannie.........hmmmmmm.....
Outside of parts - they'd charge
you 300 bucks to
install....... which means it would take Bart
three
months to get it done :).......... !bAwaaaaaaa!!

In Basic -
you'll use a 4bb. to 2bbl intake
manifold adapter - and I would use
the
'81 - '88 AMC Intake / Exhaust Manifold as it is
quite good - ,
then get a Holley 390cfm
carb - & in the Archives is the info
on
plugging the atmospheric passages
in the carb - which is pretty easy
-
fatten the jets & plumb an IMPCO
Propane carb 'bonnet' from
the
carb to the Turbo which is mounted
on the AMC Factory cast iron
exhaust
manifold .
The exhaust Turbine 'downpipe' or
exhaust from
the Turbo should dump
into a 3" pipe as quickly as you can
- so from the
flange it might be 2.5"
going to a flare to 3" - this keeps
the
backpressure from the Turbo & lets
it spin easily.
$ used
Turbo from Buick GN '87 ?
$595.00 for a new Turbo correctly
sized.
$75.00 for the IMPCO Carb Hat / tube-ing
$15.00 1981+ AMC Intake
Manifold / Exhst. mfd.
$ 18.95 Mr. Gasket 4bbl to 2bbl Carb Adapter
