why don't you just turbo a Magnum? I mean how much power do you want? Boost makes stupid power no matter the block.


LS is lighter w/high flowing factory heads and many will argue capable of much more abuse. There are many running 800+ HP with pretty much stock, high-mileage long blocks.



No doubt about that...and the same could be said with the LS vs. Gen 3 comparison too. But to Yuck's point... how much power do you need? If you're looking for sub 700hp, just about anything will work with a turbo.


I hear you. I'm not new to turbos. I built a turbo setup for the 440 in my 69 dart. I still have that engine and turbo setup that I could drop in my car, but I'd like something smaller and lighter. The low cost of the LS and available turbo exhaust is appealing to me. If I break it, I can simply pull another one from the yard for $350. I can't do that with my 440, which I believe is weaker than the LS anyways.
