and then you can roll....
but... if you are going to boost i wouldnt half ass it i would get a donor block (50 bucks on our abilene craigslist) with a 4 bolt main... overbore it and sleeve it (so the cylinders can handle all the pressure and fun stuff in there)
and then slowly build a motor over time (spare time you got a few years) and then. go with a good efi system from a newwer truck etc...
and make dang sure its an OBDII system so you can computer tune and control everything..


in my experience.. and watching friends with money do it.. (lucky jerks) it will cost 7-9 grand total for turbo, motor all parts...
and a couple o girlfriends....
my next build will be a 6.0 with stock crank scat 4340 rods and mahle pistons this is just for now
