I agree that the cam timing probably isn't the best, but the turbo efficiency plays a huge role in what cam timing works best. I'm sure a modern high efficiency turbo along with a custom cam would make allot of power and lower EGT.

When I was researching modern turbos for the multifuel the turbo map from a hx35 fit beautifully to get the engine up to over 200hp. With a better cam profile the potential should be a little higher.

I'd be concerned about reliability past the 200hp mark.

That is exactly the combination Tracey Varns did. He had a new cam ground and installed a modern turbo. He said he was getting over 350hp reliably. He also had installed ARP head studs and the new style (12 point ) rod bolts. I have posted the part numbers and prices from ARP for there studs and nuts and special washers.

I don't know how to cut and past here so I just wrote it down and re post here. Its all Rustystud 's info.

Part numbers for head bolts and studs for multifuel engines from ARP.
The stud are all 9/16"

The 6.160" long stud is #AQ6.120-1LB. Priced at $11.50 each.

The 6.380" long stud is #AQ6.500-1LB. Priced at $12.34 each.

The 2.620" long stud doesn't have an exact match but is closest and should work fine. The part is #AQ3.475-1LB. Priced at $6.58 each.

Heavy duty washers are part #200-8515. Priced at $o.96 each.

The nuts are 12 pointers and are part #300-8305. Priced at $8.44 each.

Grand total for full set from ARP including studs, washers and nuts would run $570 ish plus shipping.
If you used your own nuts and washers 350 ish.

If you would like to see the original post check outs reds cool build thread as previously posted.

A 350 hp deuce would be alot more pleasurable to drive. Last time i drove mine I had to switch to low range to pull a tiny hill through the town i live in. I did have 5 tons of gravel in it though.....
