With fords anyway you can just take the stock tubular headers, flip them over and point up or down in the front, weld T3 flanges on there and mount turbos. Should be a good setup-lots of room in the truck engine bay. Truck probably has cast manifolds so just pick up some headers and mod em.

flip this upsidown, weld on a t3 flange or get (2) 2.5" 3-bolt flanges, and weld up a short pipe between them connecting them.

most domestic auto tranys hold up great to hight hp...

truck tranys are ment to be put under stress so it should take a little boost just fine.

sweet this sounds like its really doable and not to expensive either so could you ghetto rig some sort of single turbo setup or would it just be better to do twin and if so where would you have the pipes meet for the single turbo what location and i have edelbrock carb do you think it would alright good for boost
any help greatly appreciated
