All you need to to is get a turbo from a chevy 6.5 motor. mine is from a 95 chevy. its a large t3 turbo. I'm running it in my truck the youtube video above is from my truck. my last dyno on a really bad tune and no intercooler was 250hp and 400tq to the wheels. that puts me at 300hp and 500tq at the crank. http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/97...-9l-300-a.html here is some of my info. its old and not updated because now im running at 16psi and currently changing from my stock speed density to a Mass air set up. These motors will never make crazy HP the heads just dont flow. But you can make TQ and thats what these motors are known for. My motor now has forged pistons and a 3 angle vavle job just because the number 3 exhuast vavle leaked. i have ARP head studs because i found that under long periods of boost the head would lift. I also have ARP rod, main, and flex plate bolts. if you check out my tread i also have a link to my Cardomain page so you can see how the motor looks. I plan on making more videos once i get it converted. I think it has been worth the money i have spent. If you have any question feel free to hit me up.

I did it like that so one it would be easier to build i dont have to worry about making an exhaust manifold for it and if i needed to make it NA again i could do it in 10 min. I have had to do that twice already mostly becuase the turbo messed up. plus it keep the heat from the engine bay and gave me more room for my methanol kit.
