My 70 Dodge Coronet twin turbo project

I don't really know what I'm doing, just kinda flying by the seat of my pants. Phil stopped over and said the turbos would work for what I want to do. I got a smokin deal on them, so I'm gonna try it. Got one header made, now gotta do the other. This is kinda new to me, I'm more of a body guy I guess. I got the wastegates too. That's about as far as I am right now. I'm trying to do it on a budget also. The engine has all forged internals, and is just a head and cam swap away from being set up for boost.

By the way, great looking build so far. Carb'd I presume.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm doing a blow through. That's the only thing I'm worried about getting set up without having to send my carb out. It should only make
8 or 9 lbs though, so I don't think I have to get carried away on the carb. I still gotta do some research on that. Right now I'm focused on the hot side, then I'll worry about the cold side. I thought building the headers would be a total bitch, but it wasn't that bad (so far). I did the hard side (passenger) first. I have more room on the driver's side because Mopar's have the engine moved to the right a little. I'll get back out there tomorrow and post up some more pics.

Looks GREAT so far!
 
Tonight's progress. Not much going on, wanted to get one more tube done, but things are kinda tight by the master cylinder and it held me up. I'm probably gonna have to wrap them anyway, I don't want to melt my fiberglass hood.
