Default T70 vs T76??

I have a magnum T70 on my 6.0L. I was going with a gt45 but it was to big and I couldn't get the hood to close. I researched and found that a magnum t76 is the same size so I could upgrade. Would it be worth it to upgrade? I am limited to 7" total height from the foot of the t4 flange to the top of the compressor housing. Anything bigger and I'll have to mad max the hood

Any info is appreciated

Depends on if the magnum 76 is running the same turbine as the 70. Do you have any more info? Stock 6.0, boost level?

With a 6.0L the Magnum turbine seems awfully small. I think they come in 65 and 68mm. Perhaps look at the new Turbonetics 76/75. I believe it has the same physical dimensions as a Magnum T70 so it should bolt right in. Huron Speed can get you a good deal on them. Ask them for some dimensions as well.

I think you're right too. Those units would be good on a 4.8. Even a 68mm turbine is too small for a 364. The 7675 is an excellent turbo and a lot of guys making huge power with them. I opted for a 96mm turbine BW S475 for my 6.0 because I refuse to have 4:1 BP from a tiny *** turbine.
