So after a long time reading on here and changing my mind about what parts and this and that I have finally came to a decision on my build..

347:
Aluminum block
forged rods pistons
stock crank
PRC stg 2.5 317 heads
Lil John custom grind cam
Holley hi ram 92mm
120lb injectors

S476r
1.10 a/r
92mm

Tial BOV
Tial 38mm twin gates
Up and forward manifolds (spoolin performance)
Treadstone trv25

thats a basic run down of what I have and plan on running this is going into a 71 nova so along the way I will share my progress and will eventually have some videos and a timeslip I can be proud of haha cars been a blazing 11.8 with a 100shot and bone stock JY 5.3haha so stay tuned

Novas aren't bristling with tons of space. You might have to rethink the headers.

I'm pretty much committed to running them, the lack of space is definitely an issue.. but I think I can get away with a similar placement as you Ron

If only someone would make a plastic version of the turbo so a guy could hold it in various locations. :-)
I'm sure you will figure it out. I look forward to following along.

So it's been a while since I've updated any progress on the car but I have finished up the whole hotside minus wastegates which I'm now going twin gates as opposed to my original plan of 1 60mm. Also changed my plans on the heads

Turbo mount

Mocking up hotside


PRC 2.5 6.0 heads


I just wanna make everyone aware that this is a first attempt at fabing a turbo kit for me and my buddy, with that being said don't bash us too hard.
