I would say probably a 60 or 62mm. Maybe Trick or someone will chime in.

I would say a Master Power T70 with a .68 exhaust housing would fit the bill nicely. I have that turbo on my 5.7 and on the 5.3 I put in my dads 72 Chevy pickup and it works great! Fast spool and make good power. I can hook you up with one for $599 shipped if your interested. Just PM me.
