Looks fantastic :thumbright: :thumbright: more pics!

It doesn't look like you need any help :) ....but just in case you weren't aware there are other BB turbo mopar owners out there who would be glad to share any info I'm sure. Or alternatively would love to see your work.
These are the two main sites....

Awesome project, just read the whole thread, have you sorted a transmission yet? We use a TH400 on a twin turbo pro mod that's making way over 2700bhp, gave up with clutch & lenco as impossible to get it to launch without massive tyre shake. The top guys in the states have all gone auto so if they can't make it work with all their money & track time, what chance have we?
Looking forward to the next instalment.

TH400, using a World Products Block they are drilled for both GM and Mopar, looking for a old casing so i can mock up the mounts etc, there was a couple on Ebay but the seller did not know if 400 or 350?

last one i saw was 20 years ago in my Trans Am
