This is whats going on.I have currently gathering parts for my 1980 hot air turbo 3.8 motor rebuild.I plan on being in the power levels on 400hp or 450hp power levels with this rebuild.now what i want to know is how much power can the hot air buick pistons and crank handle,I am not trying to buy a different crank and forge pistons unless its needed inorder to support the horsepower levels safely.
Here are the parts below that I already had from a diffent project and brought off ebay.this is a blow through intercoler setup.
