Re:how to put turbos on a old truck
ok first off check out www.turbomustangs.com they have a chevy forum and lots of good info on modding holley carbs for boost
for your turbo manifolds you will have to have custom ones fabricated, if you still have your stock exhaust manifolds u can cut off the flange that bolts to your head and fab them yourself
i beleive on the HMT homepage there's a link to a TT 350 how you missed that is beyond me
anymore questions just ask, and try to use some punctuation when typing, i got lost like 4 times while reading that
