The engines are 454 LS-6 with a different cam and pistons for the dual turbo chargers, they boost 6 PSI, I think it will need intercoolers!

Needs a little clean up! All the gauges are marine type and should be OK.

I have no original pictures or good reproductions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
