Default setup idea opinions*no pics*

turbo set-up idea:
(1) 351 windsor block bored .60 over
(2) garret t4oe turbos
(1) holley 174 power charger
( JE low compression pistons .60 over
(2) Trick flow heads
( Scat forged rods
(1) Scat forged crank
(1) Holley double pumper 850 cfm carb

This is just an idea for my setup on my ford, what you think?

what do I think? you'll have to get the carb modified to accept boost or you'll have lots of problems. the guy at pony carbeurators told me that holly sucks and the only reason why they sell so much is because they have a huge advertising budget.

he didn't talk ---- about demon, but he was real proud of factory ford carbs. Pony carbs is a place that specializes in rebuilding/restoring ford carbs, they just moved their opporation from new york to my little *** town, they do carb work for people all over the country.

they said it's 300-400 bucks to get your ---- redone all perfectly, they even tune them on some engines they have set up there with an engine dyno. it's pretty pricey, but I don't know how much a new carb costs.

listen from a guy who done some work on turbo-ing Fords.

351 is a good strong block - you got it there.
but one thing i might say is there is no need for forge pistons if you know how to tune it right. Why I never went forge? because half the time my (302) that is slit right down the middle. The block of the 302 is weak *** hell. I have never seen the piston go before the block. Rods and crank is a good insurance but the block will let go and it'll be useless.

I'm going to take a stab at this and guess this setup will never happen. Do you have any of these parts or are you just day-dreaming?

The total cost of your parts is well into the $5000 range with machining and other parts necessary to finish the motor. Is that within your budget?
