I am so glad you did this instead of listening to everyone tell you not to. Seriously a cool project.

The thing is when I bought this car, the intensions were to put a 2.3 turbo in it the whole time. I had been thinking about it back in the 80's. But had to many other thing going on and keep getting side tracked. Was going to do it to a 66 fastback I bought in the mid 90's. But work got slow and I had to sell something, so the fastback went. Sad thing is the fastback was a one owner and a real nice driver. Two weeks after I sold it work picked up, should have tried to stick it out.

We will know the rear wheel horse power for sure when I get it all done and take it in and put it on the wheel dyno. But I am guessing 300+ on low boost. We will see what it is at 25 lbs after that?
