    Just read an article on this. Also PowerBlock on SpikeTV just talked about flathead build-ups. There's a company that gives you a modernized version and it has all this stuff. Stroked - yep. Carbs - 4 Webers or FI. Cats - hmm, depends if you really want to drive this car on the road legally or not. SC - you can add one, a Magnusson might work out, but there goes the carbs. Right side up of course - what carbs work upside down? Might as well use the 5-speed since you'll prolly break it anyway. Zoomies would be tacky. Pebble Beach staff would laugh you out of Monterey County. Chrome as much of the engine as you can to hide that crappy looking engine. :p

    What he actually means is to put a twin turbo on each bank to make it 6 in total.

    There are a few other options available also. Just saw yesterday a P51 Mustang roaring around in the sky. If he makes the engine room somewhat longer he could easily get a Rolls Royce Merlin in there. No turbo junk but a compressor instead. Some 2700 hp if I remember correctly.
    There is of course the most simple option left........call Ferrari and buy the 3,5 litre engine ,V10???, from Barrichellos car. He wont need it any more.

    first of all, I was talking about twin turbocharging the original 348 engine, second of all you can twin turbocharge a w engine, look at the twin turbo w12's from bentley.

    Sorry Vic......I misread your post. Absolutely YES on the TT 348 engine. The highly modified TT 308 engine was good for 700++hp.

    As for TT on a "W" type engine???....I'll leave that to Bentley. In our shop that setup would rank somewhere between a magnesium crankshaft and chrome-molly pistons.


    Modified TT 308/328
