<VV> Yet more turbo hand-wringing

[Ron Guy]

Norm,
   I have the Clarks on my '65 turbo and had to modify the heat shield. Not 
to
difficult and your better off with it there. My engine is rebuilt with a 
better low
end torque cam. Holman Moody. Richard Jenkins can give you the profile data
I'm sure. Everything else is basically stock. Turbo was rebuilt. Exhaust is 
tight.
The little car runs like a scalded dog on 93 octane gas and synthetic oil. I 
don't
know why you want to spend a lot of money on all these things you are 
considering.
I'm sure I missed your first post on this, but my opinion is that money is 
better
spent elsewhere. My .02
