    Ok guys and gals, I'm pondering the idea of building a twin-turbo 455 for my 72 skylark, but haven't been able to find any talk of one on this site. Maybe I didn't search enough, but does anyone have any info on one of these set-ups? Has it been done before? I'm thinking of something similar to the one in the January 2004 edition of popular hot rodding on page 53.

    thanks,
    Mike

    I've thought about it quite a bit, and if I had the money I'd do it tomorrow. As you see from the link from Ken, it is very possible.

    I hope that Alan made a pattern for those headers so I can buy some from him...

    Anyhow, it would not be easy. But it is possible.

    Wow, I didn't realise that link still worked! Here is the "new" link but the car info is still the same. (yes, I'm slack!!!!)

    I'd like to do an updated set of headers but it's nowhere near the top of the to-do list. I changed the wastegate outlets on these but haven't updated the website yet.
