Glad I'm not being chased away with pitchforks and torches. I've been helping my friend swap a.EFI 345 into his '70 scout 800, and trying to keep the stroker alive. I'm dying to get back on the travelette! Soon enough, I'll post any updates here....not that anyone is following along or anything!

How many miles have you driven the PSD? How did you go through 3 turbos?

I got it at about 293k, its got 310k now. The original one I assumed was tired at 300k, then the o rings started leaking (when I pulled it, it had lots of slop so out was on its way out...) so I replaced it with a 1.0 housing IH one which lasted 2 weeks (think I over spooled it, could bury the 35 psi gauge with ease) then it started pouring oil out of the exhaust. I just put another one on (used) and I'm still getting a haze of smoke. I give up!

i want to see pics of a V8 crammed into a scout 800.

It was a everyday built truck....as I worked on it everyday! Wish I didn't dump so much into it...

You never came here for help on the PSD.
That's the problem.

It fits with plenty if room! You may be thinking of the 4 cyl 80s where the rad support is 8" back.actually theres so much room with the 8 cyl you can get all the bellhousing bolts from the top!

Yeah I was on PSN, theres more traffic there than the PSD section here. I figured the most traffic here is well here with the idis!

Sucks to hear that Jon..........., hey atleast you didn't go chebby haha

On the minivan subject I had a 92 plymouth voyager as my first vehicle in highschool...was by no means a chick magnet but it did have a lotta room in the back. It also had a good amount of power
