Lots of old Detroit turbos will work ok on a 440, look for a tv75 or tv81. 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.

I just bought the jegs kit for $119 and a set of $50 flanges off ebay and a few 3" mandrel bends and several 3" V-band clamps.. I used a chop saw but a band saw would have been easier.
Equal length is not really an issue with a turbo!

could you do something like this w/ a BB?
Sure, but were would you put it???
How about cut up mud bog or tractor pull headers, come straight up, bend them forward, flange them, mount turbo(s) and run a Spectre dual inlet hat, symetrical install. Have 1/2 of the snails come out of the hood like a shaker and watch them glow at night!
well ya'd have to bend it around the k-frame, unless you went with a new tubular unit.

You cheated by using truck/van manifolds. The passenger car manifolds will not work upside down. That was the first thing I tried when I went turbo.
