30 over 402, didn't need the turbo.

I'm having a hard time seeing how that turbo setup works.

Draw through setup, like the turbo Pontiac 301s.

Pretty much everyone these days goes blow through, which has the benefit of taking advantage of the cooling effect of bernoulli's principle. Acting like an intercooler.

I never even heard of that before, thanks for the education. Very interesting.

That Shelby Spearco turbo system I installed on my 1982 GMC in the summer of 1982. That is what was available 40 years ago. Took a couple months of tweaking to get it good. Added a waist gate and more. The blow through carb systems back then required many carburetor mods.

I never even heard of that before, thanks for the education. Very interesting.

The picture was early on, there is no waste gate yet.

The Spearco system for the pickup truck, was also better than the systems that mounted the draw through turbo down low. This gives a down hill path for the fuel mix to avoid puddling. The pickup has enough hood clearance for the higher turbo/carb combo.

I like that GM door badge, pretty neat idea.

Has 235/75r15s on 15x6 f/r. Rear sat 3” higher than the front is in the pic, so, a bunch of drop. Rear flip and shock extenders, Gabriel 500# rear load assist shocks that need new bushings.

Front still needs lowering spindles and drop/cut springs. Thinking 3” spindles, 2.5-3” springs and 215/70s if the 235/75s are too big. If it then needs thbular control arms, so be it. Wife’s truck, I can’t stand 2wd.

Rear shot is the clearance, no notch yet, with a 235/75r15 AT. Will be on 30-9.5r15 HTs. Plan to dump the tired 2wd 3+1 springs for much newer 4wd 4+1s. Bolt in notch with smaller jounce bumper come warmer weather, truck is too wide for the garage (1920s built).

So unless I want to delete and shave some stuff. Doesn’t look like I’m getting much lower
