Re: Educated suggestions for Big Block Turbocharger selection.. KTHX
They are MAX wedge heads... My dad has the original long tube X rams for THOSE heads (they wont work with the regular BB Mopar heads if I remember correctly, its been a LONG timne) with all the original linkage, carbs, etc.... The Max wedge heads are different than the normal RB heads....
I was thinking put dual throttle bodys on the x rams like this:
But a couple LSX ones instead, regardless you get the idea... With dual snails.....
Heres more:
Ill take pics of the intakes when i visit him tomorrow.
His setup came out of his old 300 wagon, and hes held onto the induction.....
Im not done with the jap car though yet.... Im stubborn, And want to walk your dart in it yet.

Look at the exhaust flange in your first post, and then look at how the exhaust mounts on the long ram engine you just posted. The upper pic flange faces downward, while all normal BB mopars, including max wedges, are a flat/ straight up and down flange. That Top head is NOT a max wedge head. Yes, your right in the fact that max wedge heads have a different port opening on the intake side, so they require a MAX WEDGE intake, but im 99% sure the exhaust flange is typical BB mopar, which is not what those top heads are.
But your not building one anyway, so it doesnt matter.

i'm starting a tt setup for a 496 in a '80 camaro right now. will post up some pics in a few weeks once i start to make some progress. i think a single is the way to go though. twin is near impossible on the d/s for fitment. turbos are some ebay t3/t4's.

ching chong t3/t4's off ebay. mounted so far. waiting on head flanges. d/s dp is going to be a real bitch. so are the collectors since they are going to be made out of 2" schedule 10 pipe!
