1. 2 Turbos is probably easier fabrication wise, T3s would be wonderful. 305 or 350?
2. Megasquirt for fuel management.

The rest IS basics, oil feed lines, manfiolds, etc. It's all the same ----, you just go about some things differently.

Best way to turbo a SBC is a complete engine rebuild. You don't have to buy the $$$$ parts, just decent stuff where the engine is weak. Most the SBC through the last incarnation L98, up to the LT1 which is sliiiiightly different, had poor piston-wall clearances on the rearmost two cylinders which would cause those pistons to over expand, bind, and ka-boom in the low 400 whp range.

After that, which turbo is really a non issue. Run whatever someone else on the internet runs, that is apparently pretty quick.
