Just wanted to post a quick note to the forum to say hello. My name is Dave and I own a 78 Bobcat wagon that I am trying to make my own.
It runs and is really in pretty good shape. Would like to install a Tunderbird turbo engine/drivetrain in it.
I am a retired auto tech and work in a trade school so I have the hands on skills to do the job, just lack the info.
Any help/what to look out for would be great. Drop me an email, reply to my thread. If ya live close enough I will give you my home number and we can chat.
Thanks in advance
Welcome to the board!
There are a few people here who have done the turbo engine swap, so they should be able to answer any questions you may have.
In addition to my Pinto, I also have a '78 Bobcat. I bought it at a towing company auction a couple of years ago for $375. It runs, but the C3 transmission is dead. Like you, I would like to turbo it as well.
Good luck!
Oh, by the way, I wish I was able to retire when I was 43!
Welcome to aboard Dave!!!!!! ;D
