The Best V8 Stories One Small Block at Time
Even with a 6.0 truck manifold kit A quality turbo, wastegate, and Bov and flanges will be close to 2k, alumanized pipe 300-600, stainless, 600-1000. then you have to buy the intercooler and all the associated aluminum pipe that will have to get welded. plus you lose your AC. If you run aluminized pipe then you have to wrap it to keep it from rusting and to help keep the heat in, for stainless it should be tig'd and coated, but a wrap will be ok.
If you run the turbo in the rear your aluminum cost goes up as well as having to buy quality a scavenge pump to circulate the oil for the turbo.
so now you have 3-4k into your DIY setup and you have to buy all the supporting pieces, Converter, clutch, trans, injectors, new rear, forged shortblock, boost guage, boost controler etc.
So take your original 4k budget and double it, now you are close to what it may cost to get the car running.
Going the turbo route can be expensive, but it would be cool if you get it right, and it runs hard in the end.
Your car would be badass with a head/cam swap. Naturally aspirated (maybe some nitrous
) F T W!!!
