First off let me say I'm not planning or even thinking about doing this to my motor I'm just curious LOL with that being said here we go. I've been thinking about all these ricer cars around my town (the ones that actually have money in them) and some of these damn cars are FAST... even with a 4 cylinder. So my thoughts why not a v8. Why couldn't/could *not sure if possible* we take a well built 350/455 high compression motor (10.1 or 10.5,1), flat top pistons forged internals port n polish then smack on some twin turbos or a good supercharger.. I mean you'd have a blow through Carb or fuel injection.. but i think it could be fun, hell of a street car for sure.. I don't know what type of HP you could get so if anyone knows please reply below.. I also know some of these ricers are running a TON of boost.. so I don't know if the motor would even hold up to high boost if any.. just thoughts come into my brain and i cant get them out.. so this forum is my vent. my thoughts on the car are all of the above (lack of) specs 411's in the rear end and maybe adding that olds turbo jetfire type kit to the car where they dump the water and alcohol in.. anyway I'm beginning to ramble.. so anyone have any thoughts or ideas on this? again its not going anywhere this is just my imagination land LOL..
Thanks for reading!
Mark.

markd03 over on ROP put together some of the coolest Olds turbo projects. I say it in the past tense because, sadly, Mark passed away last week. His projects were budget builds with a lot of seat of the pants technology.

Here's a thread on his 4 door sleeper build. He also built an incredibly cool rear end Toro drive pickup for which the thread is probably lost forever in the ROP crash but may be able to be found on highperformanceolds.com.

And the recent thread on his passing. RIP Mark
