Performance Questions 225 vs. 360

You're talking alot of cylinder pressure & heat build up. Also the fabrication time needed to install a turbo has to be considered. Induction piping & intercooler(another cost left out by the pro-/6 posters), custom exhaust, lubrication plumbing, & you wouldn't put all that into it without upgrading the rod & main bolts/ studs would you? A rebuild would have to be a given also. Forged pistons? Carb & intake manifold? You're not thinking about blowing it all through a little 1 bbl are you?

Fabrication time for a turbo slant, need not be any more then converting to a V-8. No intercooler on mine. Stock cast iron 1 bbl intake and exhaust manifolds. I used a 170 slant and a turbo of a 168 CID Corvair (junkyard in 1979). Home made intake/carb mount on the inlet of the turbo. Totally stock short block, just .020 stock cast pistons. Oil to the turbo, a 1/4 inch line from the oil pressure sender location. Oil return is a short piece of number 10 braided line from the turbo to a fitting in the side of the oil pan. At 10 PSI you don't need anything fancy.
