tyrbo in my HenryJ

[Henry Albert]

Hello, I joined this site to get more info on the engine as I progress with the build on my 51 HenryJ. My buddy gave me the V6 Turbo engine/ 350 trany out of his 80 Regal and I'm in the process of fitting it into the chassis. As of now the engine will remain stock but who knows as I get further into the build. This is not going to be a gasser but a fun street car. The Dr side of the block sits where the steering box goes so this will have to be dealt with and I'm not sure yet about the exhaust manifold/ turbo piping, Henry.
I tried to post pic's but will have to add more posts before I can.

One of our members has put one in his 28 Essex and has posted in the B4black section. I'm sure he'd be glad to give you any tips with your hybred. Welcome to the board and start reading up. The B4black section is where you'll find the info you may need.

Dr's side exhaust hits upper A arm bolt so that won't work. Will have to make headers I guess.
