Thinking hard about the gt45 eBay turbo. Starting to look for early model magnum manifolds. Have a 750 do to convert . What brand waste gates? Something good and cheap. Lol. Do I nerd a bob. Will probably use a air to air inner cooler. What type fuel pump?
Motor is .030 over 360,maybe 9.1cr at most,j heads small valve,has dual plane on it.have a strip dominator also.msd 6al with factory dist.small cam 480 list .Unsure of brand and cl.904,low first gear,Manuel valve body and 8 3/4 with3.23. Car ran 13.40 on street tires with this setup

The gt45 is hard to beat for sure.

You don't have to go through the trouble of finding the early exhaust manifolds, any will do. The slightly larger exit of the early units won't be any better than the later ones. Speaking of exhaust size, don't build your crossover pipes (hotside going to turbo) out of anything bigger than 2.5". Actually, the smaller the better. I'm going to build mine out of 2", and believe me it will be plenty big. Besides, the turbo itself is the biggest restriction anyway.

You will need a bov. The injected guys can get away with it, but is a must for carbs.

As for your current setup, it looks good for a mild build. You will need to lose the dual plane intake, is the strip dominator a single plane? Also, you'll need a way to control timing, a boost timing master for example. How much boost are you planning to run? Low boost can be run without an intercooler on a blow thru setup.

These are the parts I'm looking at for a wastegate and bov.
