For the last month I have been designing and build a budget motor to get my Cutlass on the road to prevent myself from forgetting about it. I eventually have plans for a Hemi, but a wedge will suffice for this temp goal. I took my stock 383 Mopar and did a stock rebuild. Turns out this "9.5:1" motor is actually 8.0:1 with stock heads and 7.55:1 with the open chamber heads I have. Perfect for Turbos......
Turbos arrived. Pair of .50 trim T4OE turbos and 38mm 16psi wastegates. Plus all flanges needed.
Dug my car out of its second hibernation since I've owned it lol.

Today I test fitted the turbos. The turbo maifolds are not finished yet. I still have to mount the wastegates. I did a very basic design for the manifolds not caring for their appearance. I just made the charge tubes tonight and have duct tape holding them in place for now. I still have to attached the blowoff valve. I also modified the mechanical fuel pump to be boost referenced. (I hope it works lol) Within the next few weeks I will make the exhaust and mounts for the blowoff and wastegates.
