*** Tempting Twin Turbo SB...***
I'm already looking for new project to start now that the 709 is in the final phase. In my next project a SB Twin Turbo would be a nice solution. Guys here, Monty and Twin Turbo are good examples what kinda potential lies in the mouse blocks. Anyways I've been looking for different crate TT engines and I came across a company called Nelson Racing Engines. They offer an 750hp/640tq Twin Turbo 350, anyone famiar with the company?

It seems that there might be problems on how the turbos a mounted on each side, making the engine too wide for C3 enginebay. Anyways all kinda of input will be appreciated on this and other tt set ups on the market.
Cheers, jay :cheers:

Looks super nice groovy but my concern wouldn't be widt but rather the height of the turbos, mine are mounted far more sideways. I'd ask the mesurement from the top of the intake to the top of the turbos so you can check hood clearance.
So what kind of car is the new project gonna be??? (hint: 69 camaro :D )

Re: *** Tempting Twin Turbo SB...*** (Hemmo)
ya i ws reading through one of my dad's old vette magazines from the early 80s and Gale Banks performance had made a twin turbo kit for the 79 corvette, made the car do 11.70 ets at 124 mph, and with 12 pound boosts it would run high tens. also the turbos were low lying so you could drive around without anybody knowing. it says here that the price was $3795 US for the turbos, not installed.
