[DeTomaso] Something other than tires - Twin Turbo Pantera on Ebay

[Kirby Schrader]

Julian,

I ran a ’79 Bronco for years that had a ‘pull through’ turbo setup on it.

It worked fine. To the point that a 396 Camaro was stunned when a 4WD beat him in a street race.
:-)

Trouble is, 20 lbs of boost was hard on head gaskets. There was no waste gate in those days.
I limited boost with the exhaust system.
I ended up selling it back in ‘96, but wish I still had it.

FWIW,
Kirby
