I'm going to move this over to the Forced Induction Forum. You may get more hits there.

Not many big blocks on this forum - some; let along turbo ones.

Talk about a nightmare to package! But a little 509 with twin 88's would be insane!

What class is it?? What are the turbo limits?? Once you figure that out, you talk to JZ on this board. The big Outlaw 10.5, NMRA, PSCA...etc boys call him.....he'll know.

Stroker, I can tell you this. Its not that hard to get a big block in a 4th gen, That is after you cut away everthing in the wat of the motor!! On like a 10.5 O/L style car its not bad, but for other classes where you have to leave much of the stock stuff it would be more difficult. Like on the Firehawk, I would say 85% of the original front structure has been removed. Also If you were to put a 9.8" short deck big block were this motor sits now, it would look like a small block.
