Default Need help and info

I'm doing a turbo build on a 6.0. It's a 06 out of a truck, rear cam sensor, 24 wheel. If I run the LS9 cam, I'll need front cover, cam sensor, and top cam gear, correct? Also I'd have to modify cam sensor wiring. Trying to figure out cost, may be better just to buy a cam for the engine. On to my main question, I'm going to run a 400 turbo, since I have no spacer, crank doesn't stick out from the block, so will the turbo bolt up and not have flywheel problems? I don't know about the converter bolt holes, haven't tried a converter on it yet. Think I'll have to oblong them? I installed a broken case on it and drilled and tapped the 1 bolt hole where there wasn't 1. Figured I might need it for the flywheel shield.

You would be better off buying the correct cam and it will make more power plus save you money.
