Not a truck, not a LS engine, but weighs as much as a truck, "69 Twin TurboCharger"

I like the play on words, TurboCharger……LOL
I’ve always been a fan of the ’68 thru ’70 Chargers and have owned a couple, a ’70 Charger 500 which Dodge aficionados recognize as coming with a 383, but ended up with a built 440. I later purchased a ’69 for the doors and brake booster, as getting parts wasn’t as easy in the ‘80’s as what they are now and I didn’t have a hard time flipping it with half the parts missing. Chrysler Big-Blocks are butt strong, as I don’t know how many bottles of nitrous I went through with a 300 shot and only burnt the fire ring out of a head gasket once. I screwed up later and traded the Charger body for a Challenger, keeping my drivetrain, as I figured it would have been a bunch lighter and besides being just as heavy, it wouldn’t house near the rear tire size the Charger would. Great suspension pieces should be easily available from XV Motorsports and it looks as if you’re going to need them.
Please keep us updated on the build.

Liquor in the front, poker in the rear........
I've already tried, if the twin suck it will have a big single. I've already scoped the down pipe area out.

LOL, I have the horn, and a dash panel signed by John Schneider (Bo Duke). If the twins don't make enough noise, I'll paint it orange.....I worked on the header some more last night. I got the number seven done, and worked on five and three.... header building is some very intense brain-storm-plan-a-head-cut-a-ton-wrong-angles-waste-of-pipe-cant-measure-pipe-worth-a-****-CRAP!
