Turbo's. Zoom zoom, go fast, maybe. Rule number one, There is no replacement for displacement. Bigger engine, go faster. Rule number two, Gears for go! Wanna go faster? Add gears. Yesterday cars were bigger and bigger engine. Emissions came to town and engines got smaller and smaller. Fuel mileage came to town and engines got smaller again. Then the price tags started to climb with turbos. Now the transmissions are 10 speeds to keep up with the older muscle cars. The smaller cars are adding more gears and turbos just to keep up. Turbos and superchargers all force air into the engine. When you force a piston down, you increase the wear on the cylinder. Increased wear can account for a shorter engine life and engine life can be extended, with more frequent oil changes that most people don't do. Wanna build a real zoom zoom engine? 12 cylinders because after that that, it becomes redundant. 5 valves per cylinder. 3 intake, two exhaust. Turbos are cheaper than superchargers but generate more heat. Turbo's I believe generate less power than the supercharger, but it has been far, far too long since I looked into it. Once you get that 500+ CID engine built, add that modern 10+ speed trans and about a 2.90 rear end and you could probably hit 300 MPH. Just remember the speed limit in the neighborhood is still around 25 MPH. Your mileage may differ.

In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
