[QUOTE=BadDreams]Built shortblock and a Garrett GT-42 94mm turbo... 
If you don't need to make a thousand ponies you could settle for a T76 and QUOTE]
dude r u sure u want to use a gt-42??? those are made for large cubic engine motors and have a ENORMOUS exhaust housing....i would suggest something else with a larger frame. i had one on a 406 and that was barely enough cu for it
*edit* on the second set of turbo manifolds, just tacked together right now, the future ones are goin to be mandrel bent. turbo was/is just for mock up and the last one i had a little help stop by every once and a while!

What a good sport she is. If I asked my wife to hold up an engine part and let me post a picture, she would probably say something like "I'll hold a part and let you post a pic for all your leg humping F150online buddies, just as soon as you hold a vacuum and clean the house." So I guess there will no pics from my house.

i was thinking about using them b/c they are cheaper than a t76 and capable of the same hp, but the guys at precision HIGHLY recommended i didn't, only reason i knew about them is b/c i had past experience like i said with a small block. and not that big???
