Interesting video on the 301 and heads in general.

He does some interesting work. He created the 301 flywheel for my 4 speed conversion too.

I enjoy watching his video's. Since he doesn't live/work that far from me and races his turbo TA at a local drag strip, I hope to meet up with him some day. He really knows the 301 engines and has got some great performance out of the turbo 301. His car runs in the 12's and shows the 301 turbo can take a pretty good beating. I think by integrating modern EFI it helped a lot. Since my car came with a NA 301 I followed him quite a bit on 301 garage. I wanted to get more power out of my 301 and decided it might be easier and more cost effective to go with a Poncho 400 or even a 350. If you want decent performance from a 301 turbo, he is definitely the guy to see.
