Pulling 307 for Belair. Dropping in 4th gen 3800 series II with truck turbo

Starting new project by pulling twin turbo chevy 307 for 55 2dr hardtop bel-air. Then dropping into my 3rd gen a 4th gen 3800 series II V6 with speedway motors adaptor to 700r4 tranny and attaching a deisel truck turbo to run about 7-8 psi. It's gonna be my daily from now on. Will post pics as project rolls along.

I can't really make heads or tails from your post. Did you remove a junky old 307 (dog motor) from a classic BelAir and are going to put it into your RS?

Who put a 307 into the 55? Forget pictures later, post up what you have today so we understand what you are doing

good luck

I thought it was pretty straight forward. He is pulling the twin turbo 307 from his RS and installing it into a 55 Bel Air.

He is going to put a turbo 3800 into the RS.

I'm guessing that he's taking the 307 twin turbo from his Camaro to put in a Bel-Air and then putting a 3.8 in his Camaro. His info bar says his Camaro now has a 307 TT.

Re: Pulling 307 for Belair. Dropping in 4th gen 3800 series II with truck turbo

Yes. I am pulling my 307TT out of my camaro and putting it back into the belair. This was always my plan to do once the engine got broke in. I had to do the body work on the Belair so I used my camaro for time being. Sorry for confusion. I am now putting in my RS the 4th gen 3800 series II with a turbo from a 6.2 detriot desiel (borg warner). I was having picture uploading trouble from my photobucket I will try again later today to see if there is any luck.

I have a motor and turbo exhaust if you’re interested. It’s in my car and I don’t want it. Going LS so it’s just in my way.
