My big orange big block

[davepl]

This used to be in my Camaro, and I briefly considered dressing it as a stock 396, but kept the original motor in my truck, so now this just sits on a stand.

I'm going to go shopping on eBay for some GT45 turbos and wastegates and so on and see what I can make on a friend's engine dyno just for kicks.

Anyone have much experience with turbo motors? I'll take it to "alternate tinkerings" but wanted to see if there are any turbo gurus amongst us before I do...

It's an all-forged 502 short block, Truck Flow 340cc rect port heads, Hogan sheet metal intake, Scorpion roller valve train, some decent parts.

You can pick up the turbo kit in the second photo for about $1300, or piece them out separately for even less (without the battery box and other weirdness).

Cheers,
Dave
