<VV> 180 or 140

[Ken Campbell]

Hmmm. keep in mind that if your chassis was a 180 ..... and your engine
block is not the original, ( but with 140 heads on a 180 block?  ) ........
that is a count against the restore ( from a $$$ resale/ collector
standpoint.  )  .... unless of course your block is the original 180 block
... heh heh ....

.....  FWIW, a friend of mine ( a Mr. Brazil ) turbo'ed a 140 rig  ... it
apparently did flow good, unless he and witnesses exaggerated ... happened
in Albuquerque maybe 1985 or so .... but that is a hot rod thing, not good
for resale value ...

FWIW, as other posts have indicated, for driving, keep it a 140 .... in some
respects the turbo is simpler, but that single Carter YH carb in the turbo
assembly is why God invented the Cell Phone .. it is just a little
complicated to do the simple job called for, maybe the fix for it is to
overhaul it every 3 or 4 weeks ....

With the 9/1 compression and a stock turbo retrofit, you will probably need
water injection, which works great but things are getting way more
complicated already ... and we haven't even talked about optimizing things
with 95 HP heads ......
