Re: turbo project: shit brown bomber
 

yeap.

the brown bomber is getting 1967 fuelie heads and a 650dp itching for boost

Re: turbo project: shit brown bomber
 

thats going to be atleast 40mpg when its boosted :S S10's dont even get 22mpg bigger tuck+bigger motor must mean better mileage :l

Re: turbo project: shit brown bomber
 

i babied the ---- out of it on purpose. i only floored it like 4 times. this was all cruising down the highway :8

i expect low 20s city/highway boosted. it'll definatly help.

i believe ted was getting about 17mpg in his truck and it was a hotter motor 8)

oh and the bomber also has a quadrajet which are very good on fuel 8)

which s10s? the 4 bangers get almost 30mpg and the 4.3l vortec are mid 20s

Re: turbo project: shit brown bomber
 

dad has an 850cfm rochester on a 455 pontiac that gets about 5 mpg. but then again, thats with like a 4.88 rear end and a 4 speed. no problem goin up hills in that ride, or doing burnouts in 4th gear either.

Re: turbo project: shit brown bomber
 

i had a 7mpg v6 4.3l s10










flooring the piss out of it doing burnouts up and down the street >:D

Re: turbo project: shit brown bomber
 

Why not go with Vortecs?

Are you getting the fuelie heads for dirt cheap or something?

Re: turbo project: shit brown bomber
 

i hadn't thought about the vortec heads, but yea i/m getting the fuelie heads pretty cheap

they were rebuilt in 2003 and has aftermarket springs for 225

i haven't got them yet but i may

i can get some vortec heads from 1999 for 250

Re: turbo project: shit brown bomber
 

if you get the vortecs only a handfull of co.s make carb manifolds to fit em cause of the weird way the bolt on the head..and there ezpensive you pay almost as much for a manifold as you will the heads ..

Re: turbo project: shit brown bomber
 

good point

Re: turbo project: shit brown bomber
 

You can always look around for a used one.

Eh, if you are getting the other heads cheap enough and they already have hardened seats installed, then it will be cheaper to go that route then.

The Vortecs are superior to the old fuelie heads in pretty much every aspect.
