Default carbed 454 turbo kit??

Buddy of mine is kickin around the idea of a turbo for his 84 dually work truck with a carbed 454. Anyone know if there is a kit around for one of those. Im sure turbonetics made one at some point but not too sure.

Im not aware of any kits anyone is offering but im sure a custom kit can be made.

Has he looked into Prochargers BBC blow through carb setup? Its a very nice setup that you can run with or without a intercooler. Its a universal kit so some modifications may need to made to fit but definitely cheaper than a custom turbo kit.

When I worked at FLP a few years ago we dynoed a carbed 5.0 mustang and it was making 550 rwhp on a non-intercooled setup with race gas at 12-14 psi. Im sure with a intercooler you can get some decent numbers out of a kit without race gas.

Well I have a friend who has a kit for a SBC but that doesnt help me on the BBC stuff. If you are interested I bet he'll let it go for 1500.00 or somwhere in that area?
