Yeah something like that in the old language.
The RS has the 4wd Cossie (200 block) and pushes out 310hp atrw on 1bar (yes thats 15 psi Marty!)
Funnily enough there is more room for the intercooler behind the nosecone than in a flat front. I guess my experiment failed, but hey I tried.
 
I use to pour over the Dave Vizard book and played with porting a few heads with probably not much success. Though when in your teens into your 20's and skint, it was all fun.

Yes yes lol, we live in 15psi so you're doubling the atmosphere in the engine! My bog stock courier 2.6 ran about 17 boost at times, using a Chinese turbo, nearly killed it!

Experiment? Not using a RS front cavity for intercooler placement, plenty of unused real-estate in that gap ! I wanna hear you get 25psi or more from that cossie 😜

Visard, he's still building engines in USA at age 82 ! I watch some of his vids occasionally if it relates to what I need to know or learn and I've learnt loads from his vids. It actually helps to speed the video to 1.25 speed.
I've never read the Pinto tuning book tho, funny that !!
