What would you be doing with it? If its for grins than a Hot Air would be cool, if you plan on doing much with it, get the intercooler otherwise I think heat buildup would kill your power after prolonged use. Either way I'd spray alky.

I had a 78 Turbo V6 (4bbl & HEI no less) in my 1982 Toyota 4X4 years and years back. It worked just fine as a hot air motor, don't expect 600hp out of it though. Not much air going through the IC on the trails anyway. I had an Edelbrock water injection system on it back then that worked pretty good too. :wink:
