marlinjackThe Machinist #5723 AMARGOSA MACHINE 'Running on Empty- Middle of Nowhere'

"SHELBYS' REVENGE" A PANTERA GTS BUILT BACK IN THE EIGHTIES HAD A TURBOCHARGED CHRYSLER 340 WEDGE BOLTED TO THE ZF!! THEY WERE SURPRISED WHEN IT LIVED AFTER MANY RUNS AT WELL OVER 900 HORSEPOWER! YES I SAID OVER 900 HP. AT 575 FOOT/POUNDS OF TORQUE! BELIEVE IT OR DON'T. I JUST FOUND THE ARTICLE! IT WAS WRITTEN UP IN "HOT ROD" MAGIZINE IN MAY OF 1986. THE ENGINE WAS A CHRYSLER 340 C.I. WEDGE WITH TWIN TURBOS, INTER-COOLER, AND WATER COOLED TURBO HOUSINGS THAT CIRCULATED THROUGH AN AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER. WITH THE WASTE GATES CLOSED IT PRODUCED 920 HORSEPOWER!! 8 MPG AND 123 MPH AT THE END OF THE QUARTER MILE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN FASTER, BUT ALL THE TURBOS ALSO BOOSTED THE WEIGHT TO 3580 POUNDS.
