flip the truck manifolds so they face forward, and the rest depends on how handy you are with a MIG/TIG



it's a lot easier than most think. then again most poeple don't know how a turbo even works..

cars are a very expensive hobby, especially making them go fast(er). it gets MUCH more expensive paying someone else to do the work
dont forget the new internals... or you can just run your 8psi and hope it holds.... :nervous:

I had a z28 from '78 as my first car. It was a monster.

Maybe you want my Miata if you're going to do a summer drift car.

The 6.6 can be brought around. Everything was restricted in that era. The even bigger 454 in the 'vette saw lower numbers than 200hp.
