Re: turbo install on 350 chevy

just get a set of demo derby headers, weld on a pair of t3 flanges after you shorten the primaries up, and stuff.

There are so many sites about this. Just go search "turbo carb 350" or something like that. I have found novels of information about turboing a Carbed engine.

i haven't seen a q-jet turbo'd, only holley's, and their backfire valve was plugged with a kit, and fuel pressure was around 8psi. weld up a tophat for the carb, and the rest is bread and butter

Re: turbo install on 350 chevy

You have to modify the carb for boost. Some things are fill the float with foam or something solid so the float doesn't crush, re-jet the thing, you will need a FPR ect.
