larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
The turbo 617 stuff will bolt right up, just figure out an oil drain. Other people have run bulkhead fittings in the oil pan.
Manifolds+turbo will probably be like $100-$150 at a junkyard.
Don't get me wrong, it won't last as long as a stock turbo 617, but it's not going to explode immediately either.
Exhaust temp pre-turbo is your best indicator of how bad you're wearing on it. 1200* for turbo engines, so maybe 1000*F for nonturbos with a turbo slapped on them? Just taking guesses
