Ran into Andrew on TurboMustangs.com seems like four months ago. He said he had done a turbo /6, pointed me here for pictures.

Found lots of posts and info, BUT THE PICTURES DON'T SHOW (most of it is on the Old Message Board). Been trying to get ahold of him ever since, his websites are down, no emails, no contact. Gave up, but ran across his info again today during a search. Thought I would give this a try.

Anybody save any pic's of his setups? Curious how his car looked with the Conquest wheels on it, too.

I'm really curious how he did the exhaust manifold. By my measurements, the 2.2/2.5 TO3 flange outlet is about a 1/4" shorter than the /6 manifold outlet after you cut the heat riser off. Can't see that a step at that point would be good. Anybody know? Did he cut the flange off a 2.2 manifold? Steel plate? How, how, how?

Anybody know how to get ahold of him? Did he go into hiding? Witness Protection plan? Anybody?

Thanks.

No one?

Anybody even heard of him?

Found a phone number from a long time ago, but not sure I have the courage to call him out of the blue (if the number is even good, which is a long shot).

BTW, I think I misspoke myself, the difference in outlet is 1/2" total (2"x2" vs. 2"x1 1/2").

Most of the older members here know him. I met him several times and seen his cars at Carlisle and in Hagerstown, Md. I have tried contacting hime several times myself and didn't get a response. He has been MIA for a couple of years. He made his own exhaust manifolds and made them for customers as well. Last I talked to him the slant was getting EFI, and then he disappeared. Maybe he got rid of the Dart?

Well, as of February of this year, he is still alive. He posted something on TurboMustangs.com in reply to a question I had asked.

Sounds like he still has the Dart but I am guessing it doesn't have the slant in it anymore. Screen name was "turbodart318" and he made a reference to a past tense turbo slant motor in a currently possessed car.

I've found two email addresses that didn't get rejected, but no responses from either. I'm assuming they are not active (just not cancelled), or that he is trying to fly low.

Dang, really curious to see how he had done things. From what he said on TurboMustangs.com and here, he got into the mid 14's and 95 mph on the stock motor, just what I want to do. Oh well.

Thanks for looking.
