    Its going to be a drive train swap, so I should be alright except for a turbo hood and turbo hood ornament. Restoring the actual wrecked turbo car will be a couple years down the line yet. THanks Chris :TU:

    It wouldn't be fair to report all the good things with a carburated turbo motor. So this is what I found out.On excelleration with some Boost, the fuell & air is mixed in the turbo itself, so when you let out of it you get a ritch mixture and it loads up.Don't get me wrong it still runs great. The problem it's not as bad once she's warmed up to P.O.T. Thank you!
    I also wanted to mention this motor runs without any computer or electric pumps or fans! :Smarty:

    The carb that's on there is the original off the Green Skylark.

    No,It's not a carb problem, It's just expect some exhaust SMOKE.You do want to remove the stock "heat plate " from under that Q-jet however :shock:

    After things were going so well, Tim Perkins hooked me up with brown bucket seats, T-Type steering wheel and 85 GN under bumper spoiler :beer . Things turned for the worse when after test driving , head gasket failed :af: so I guess the silver lining is I get to port the heads. :blast:
