Blower Engine Kit
Hi All,
im down in New Zealand and am looking for an engine kit for one of my projects, a Fiat Topolino. Its a fibreglass body with a full roof and with doors, as we did the mold off my wifes steel bodied one
Im plannng to build a streetable SBC and blower with a T350. Its for a street car that may see a couple of runs down the quarter from time to time.
I have a street legal T bucket with a blown 540 cube BBC for when I want to go fast. (Number plate on that is AA/FA)
So I have a 4 bolt mains 350 block and a brand new never had fuel thru it B&M 420 megablower and intercooler.
Im using that blower because
1) I have it in my shed and
2) it will look the part hanging thru the hood
I figure I need a forged crank (383?) and some six inch H beam rods and some good forged pistons, some 72cc TFR or Brodix heads and a comp ratio around 7.5:1
Our fuel down here is 95 or 98 octane. With the intercooler I should avoid pinking.
Does anyone sell a kit (Lunati?) with the basic good stuff I need? I realise it wont be a cheap purchase, but I would rather do it once and do it right.
Thanks
Todd
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
