Default Making some headway

Finally have got to do some work on the 65 FB. Most of the metal work except the mods is done. Over the next day or so I plan to add two recesses in the rear for the turbos and alter the radiator support to hold a Crown Vic fan and shroud assembly (its a two speed and fits perfacto, $10 cost), that is if I can mount my radiator in front of the support. Thanks toa little advice fromDave S. I was able to get the rear seat delete in around the roll bar. It was a PITA, but fits well.I hope to speed things up a little over the next few weeks and maybe have the car in paint within a month.

where are you monting your turbos in the back? How much turbo lag do you get having them that far away from the intake? can you mount a turbo to a carb or do you have to have EFI? I am looking forward to seeing this car done.

I'm not too much worried about the lag. It should'nt be too much anyway. I would love to install FI, but I have a lot of parts I need to use up (new 750 DP). I have never done a rear mount twin turbo before,but from what I have read, it seems to be easy. The tune may be a different story though. Hopefully, over the next few weeks I can make some progress.
