Wich one? And what is possible to get out of it? Thanks trying to get back on an old project. 496 stroker,Indy srs , new best 6.87 @ 98 1.46 60'

The compressor wheels and exhaust housings can vary a lot in them, so you kind of have to get lucky. You would not want an exhaust housing with the 1.6 ratio (the ration is usually stamped on the inside of the turbine inlet) They will all be T6 large frame turbos. 70 Sport Fury 68 Charger 69 Coronet 72 RR

They will block the spark plug holes. If you put them on the wrong side the steering box and driver's engine mount are in the way.

I have often thought of going that way instead of stock manifolds. http://www.sandersonheaders.com/Sanderson-DD2-Chrysler-383-440-V8-Blockhugger-Header-Set.html 11.67@118 1.88 60' with only 7-8 lbs of boost.

I am asking your guys opinions to get a jump start on the build. I will buy a new tubo if need be butt I know there has to be a cheaper way and still wouldn't know wich new turbo to buy or how to properly plan to fab the headers without someones help. So what turbos should I look for? Or maybe I should have posted What are your stock 440 turbo combos ? 496 stroker,Indy srs , new best 6.87 @ 98 1.46 60'

I used a chop saw but a band saw would have been easier. Equal length is not really an issue with a turbo! SRT8 CHARGER "Four door bore" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That was the first thing I tried when I went turbo. We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon
