Blow through Carter BBD?

After reading through many of these threads you all have me wanting to put a junkyard turbo on my /6 just for kicks.
Has anybody modified a Carter BBD 2 barrel for blow through operation? I understand that it is kinda small on the flow side but its what I have and so if I can make it work its what I will use.
My other carb choice is a Holley 1850 600cfm that came off a 318. Its vacuum secondary though so that would involve even more mods.
I am only looking at running in the 5-8PSI range from a small Volvo style turbo (or what I can pull out of the local u-pull-it yard for cheap). Basically just enough to make the noise and give it a bit more go. The stock 3 speed manual probably wont hold up to much more power anyway.
Much searching on the internet has retrieved no results for any information. If anybody has a link I would surely appreciate that as well.

Guess thats a no. Seems like with the money spent on a turbo setup I could just throw a V8 in there and have all the power I would want without worrying about smoking a piston or otherwise burning the motor up..............
Plus the sound........

I tried a bbd once, and it just can't get enough fuel into the bowl...as it is anyway...
I tried asking about it here, and I believe someone commented they had the same problem.
yeah, here it is:

I dunno, there has to be a way, but I didn't find it...

Thanks for the help guys. Looks like Hangar18fabrication.com is under construction so they dont have a ton of info available right at the moment. I have a Holley 650 carb that I could try to use, but its vacuum secondary which I have read isnt the greatest choice for blow-thru operation.
I guess I will just keep my eyes peeled for something to come along. I already have most of the means to put a 318 in it I would just like to make some cool power to go along with the cool ride like a lot of you guys have chosen to do.

Can you enclose it in a box? Or will that squash the float?_________________ '72 Duster 198 stock cam, 3:23's Hookers

Enclosing it in a box won't solve squashing the float - you'd need a new float (or possibly filling the old one with foam) to solve that issue. |
