turbo is for rice and buicks ... I would be ashamed to put twin turbos on a SBC ... That motor isn't going to sound right. If you want turbo go with a 3.8 V6 like you would find in a T-type. Why spend the time and money trying to get 2 turbos , massive intercooler , and piping in that car when you can spend less on a cent. blower , install in 1/3 the time , and make as much or more HP ?

No turbo on a chevy!?! Reiger, Moran and all those guys must have it all wrong then. Ah well, rather be wrong than slow I guess.

<shrug> This one sounds just fine to me

Cause turbo's = torque and torque = fun, therefore turbo's = fun

The power aspect is debateable

If you lookg to do something a little unusual you coud have comp cams grind you a 4 - 7 swap cam. Swap 4 and 7 plug wires and your well sort of set.

For those that know will FAST handle a change in firing order? I assume it will.

Don't look at me I have a carb.
