Turbo?
I've been tooling with the idea for awhile about a turbo on my el camino. I'm still working to get all of my parts finished up so that i can slide the motor together.
I guess I've got a few different options but I wanna get a good idea before i have my exhaust guy set it up.
1) Buy a new turbo kit
2) Buy a used turbo setup
3) I dunno about this one but I've heard its possible. Buy a diesel turbo and use it.
I'm pretty open as far as compression because I don't have a problem using 112 octane gasoline.
The motor that i'd be putting it on goes a little something like this:
4 bolt studded 400 SBC .030 over
Scat Cast Steel 3.5" stroke 400 main journal crank
6" 4340 Steel Rods
Probe forged & floated pistons
Cam: Doug Herbert PN: HERCCH2 Its 567"/567" lift, 242 @ .050" Solid roller
Full roller valve train
Right now I've got a set of 2.02/1.60 ground 76 cc chambered heads that came out of the El camino. Was thinking about having them shaved to bump the CR but if this motor becomes turbo powered, i might not have to.
