Just keep in mind ,that turbo is sized to feed 400 some odd cubic inches at 3000 rpm .Less than ideal for a 454 at 6000 rpm.
It might work well on a much smaller motor at about 5500 rpm tops.
Might want to get the specs on how much air it feed before getting too far into it.

It would be going on a 4.3 v6 I also have a small 13b turbo would that be better suited for this motor I'm looking at a low boost setups

With all due respect, you need to do some reading and learn how to size turbos.....

We built & sell our own turbo's, we us to make all Garrett's turbo's from late 70's-93 then the French bought the contracts. We now have our own line of housings and use Garrett/Airesearch rebuildable centers.
