Default Turbo in grille?

Thinking about doing a home made set up with th obx forward camaro turbo headers and doing a 3/4 radiator and putting the turbo in the grille.

Seen a couple race style trucks like it but Idc to ditch ac but still want some street ability . Think it's doable?

Hmmmm. might be a bit much for a driver. But if you can get some kind of pipe on the inlet and put a filter behind a headlight for the street it would work.

Check out denmah's Fairmont 3 built fairmont 3.0 (05-5.3, isky 3x12, s476r, for 14' season) - Page 30 - LS1TECH, he just built a close to grill mount BW turbo setup, using a Mustang 66 radiator.
