I'm building a tube chassis truggy around '51 Power Wagon sheet metal. My donor engine is a stock VE-pumped 12 valve out of a 92'. I will be running a NV4500 behind it. It will be relatively light(for Cummins power) at around 4500-5000 pounds trail ready. I would like 350 HP, and from what I've read should be reliable. I want as little turbo lag as possible. Twins are out of the question due to packaging. I won't be towing or pulling with it, just play time in the rocks, and occasionally street driven. I do not have a blingtanium budget.
With all that in mind:
What fueling mods would you suggest, including lift pump?
What turbo would you suggest (I have the stock HIC and giant 21cm housing)?
I ran a Southbend Con-O in my old truck, but I guess a CON-OFE might be a better choice for higher power levels. Are they grabby? I need a clutch I can slip a little bit, then lock up. Any suggestions?
Here's a mock-up picture of the project. I've already started on the chassis, but its not in the picture. It will be about 7" taller at ride height.
