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.

 

I know spearco made a kit years ago and turbonetics im sure made a manifold. Cant seem to find info on either of them anymore.

 

Looking for the samething for my bro's SBC can't find anything around. They had them before guess they stoped makin them.

 

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?
