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
