if you ask me, but tis apparently tis a hudson--i thought it was a mopar cuz i googled turbo mopar flathead images and that is what came up
i really want to turbo my 237 and may turn it into a 283 cuz i have the rods and crank for a 265 and then just bore it out
perfect candidate cuz it is low compression and a small turbo will give the more air it so desires
so you don t have to raise the compression but maybe a cam regrind
don t know that much about it but i am very interested in the possiblilties
as i understand it the flathead coudl take up 7psi boost no problem and as long as you don t go over it s rpm range should be good to go
i don t want to go fast just so more umph at cruising speed--economy would be nice too but not sure if that will happen with a turbo
i want to run it on propane also as it is half the price of gasoline here
but all this may or may not come after i am up and running natural asp
