Does all that clear the factory k-frame. Looks sort of like this SB set-up. 7556900-turbo.jpg (743 downloads) [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/pui5j.jpg[/IMG] Coming soon!!!!

Those turbos are cheap for a reason I hear what your saying about those chinese turbos, but check out theturboforums.com. They have a thread about the gt45 that a bunch of guys are using and seems to hold up and make power. 7556950-7453703-5N25H55J83Gf3F13ofc7ie2a7b0d1f84d173a.jpg (311 downloads)

I'm waiting for my 383 to kick a rod out or break a piston, and I'm only at 12 lbs. Maybe it'll never happen. 1970 Imperial, Low & slow daily driver 1973 Chrysler T&C 1948 Dodge B1 pickup - perpetual project

I got lucky and picked up a new s480 from a buddy for peanuts. glad to see that there will be other turbo mopars out to play with.

It's compression bent 2 1/2 with a home made Y that I tried to make flow as good as I could It pokes up threw the hole inbetween the K member to the turbo Just a tad less ground clearance by about a 1"
