Love that turbo rig in the Veraneio. Gives me an idea about resurrecting my longtime-downed '67K/10 Suburban with a 292 on turbo, w/TH700R4//NP205 thru to military surplus 3.08 axles . Used to run w/ a 454 BBC/TH350//NP205 to 3.73 posi Corp 12 bolt.
Obviously, with gas at more than $3.60/Gal a bigblock with 6-8MPG is not a good bet.
Maybe a lump-ported L6 head. Maybe rigged for propane as fuel. Propane pistons. It would be nice to see that old white whale rolling again.
