youd be better off with a 383 lt1 stroker, imo. but if you have a crap load of money and want to be different it would definately be worth it

no its not the same, im sure you need new motor mounts, headers, custom turbo tubing, oil pan, hoses, crossmembers, driveshaft, fuel system, etc. im sure that stuff will add up to quite a bit.

Do you think it would be cheaper to turbo the lt1
