John, still plan on singling her out .. you mentioned speeds in the 65 MPH Range on earlier posts .. how are you getting those speeds?

Took the beast for her 1st run tonight... she runs sweet and the turbo makes a noticeable difference as I went the gears and I was pulling the lowboy "sans" load... a little disappointed on the top end speed and I'm thinking that I need to tweak the pump a bit ... temps on the EGT did not exceed...

VINTAGE IRON .. I'll grab that intake manifold off that 400 just to see if it will fit on the 250 engine .. it would be nice it was a direct swap with the low profile intake:D .. This might be a duhhhh question aua.. but it looks like the air-cleaner must have to be switched from driver side...

VINTAGE IRON .. that looks just like the same turbo I picked up for my M818 last week .. Can't wait to get home and get started on that project .. I went with the 16.00R20's on my beast .. will be pulling a 35 foot low boy trailer loaded with a 1943 M16A2 Half-track and M10 Ammo Trailer ...
