Turbo kit from truck step bars! Big Block Twin Turbo Fox Body Fairmont.

Download the FREE Upside App at upside.app.lin... to get an extra 25 cents back for every gallon on your first tank of gas.
In this video we make a complete turbo kit on our 83 Ford Fairmont Futura big block twin turbo car out of a set of street rod lakester headers and a couple of truck step bars off of wrecked trucks. It crazy what you can make work when your cheap. The engine is a 454 big block chevy that we built on the channel that has forged h beam rods, hyperutectic dome pistons, and used Procomp aluminum heads. Engine management is Holley Terminator X max that will also control our 4L80E transmission. Can't wait to see what this Fox Body will run like at the drag strip. Thanks for watching more updates coming soon.

I took sleeperdude up on the upside offer last year. I get about 40 back per month from it. I use some to subscribe as a thank you and use the rest for date nights and car parts. Thank you Josh and crew.

[@GratefulEd907]

I’m not affiliated with them in any way other than using the app but Acorns is also awesome for saving money. It rounds up to the next dollar amount and puts it aside for ya. It’s like saving your change basically. You can also double or triple amount saved if ya want it to add up quicker. So instead of putting.25 cents aside it would do .50 or .75 depending on your settings.

[@jonlennon3348]

Keep in mind you have to remove any welding slag or anything to get sucked into your turbo's. A person I knew welded everything nicely but didnt clean the pipes out so the turbo's got destroyed.

I promised you a book a few months ago.its every American car from 1920 to 1980 with detailed specs. It is the best book ever I promise.

Hiya all, Josh I was an Engineer no not a train driver but an engineer in a high-tech machine shop, but raced our ovals in 4 separate formulas, the best is what we called Bangers, supposedly stock cars with added safety bits bolted and welded in, but a saying was IF IT RUNS IT RACES - Engineer or not me and hundreds of others had so much fun over the years.. Keep the saying - IF IT RUNS IT RACES.. no matter what happens.. I just love the family Involvement In your car builds, something that never happened at my house sadly..

Excellent idea

[@philgrimsey3637]

I've done similar on a British car notorious for overheating called the Triumph Stag. I hammered together a fitting kit out of parts and bits from a hardware store a relay kit for heavy duty spotlights and a fan from the back of a other friend's garage. I slotted this thing in and ran it off the relay with a switch on an ign live. Worked amazing and circumvented the lack of space Infront of the 3litre V8. Definitely worth a shot.

[@ProjectSullivanAuto]

Everyone should learn to "gob Weld" at that age.

[@KiwiStag74]

Hey Josh. I'm with Ralphie on this one - the "rough and ready" look to the piping looks good. If anything at all, give it a dusting of flat black exhaust paint so it looks factory, but leave the welding exposed unless something needs protected from the heat in order to show the hard work and dedication that went into making the project happen. Like you, I can't wait to hear the beast roar into life and I don't think it will be any kind of slouch when you hit the loud pedal, eh! All the best

Very impressive to watch you make all these pipes and that you had your wife & kids welding too. When I built my 2.3L mustang I was considering a turbo or blown intake but decided I didn't need 700HP for just a highway car that went really fast. The one thing I am glad I did was port out the oil galley ways from 1/4" to 5/16". The 2 long ones run front to back and after porting, tap for a new 3/8-16" plug. I only ran into one header bolt hole to which I bottom tapped & inserted an allen screw and shortened that header bolt. It ran 60lbs. oil pressure for almost 200,000 miles.
