Single Turbo Setup
How difficult would it be to add a turbo to a 350?
Any ideas on price, manufacturers, location of the turbo, parts list etc.

Here is a discussion I recall about C3 turbos.
Interesting .. the remote setup, which doesn't require costly headers.
However, it does not perform as well as an under-hood device.

I have a twin turbo setup on my big block but I dont know how to post pics of it on here. Mine makes enough power to break the tires loose at anything under 70 mph, I only have 245.60/15's on the car right now and thats a good thing so I dont tear up everything behind the motor until I get a chance to upgrade the rest of the drivetrain.Any kind of forced induction will be a blast!

If you want one fantastically outrageous setup, go to

Anyone else pushing 1200hp from their 1982? Only wish I was.

It is possible to do something similar to the STS kit on our C3's and it actually could workout pretty well because of our rearends ebing in a fixed position. I was going to go this route before I decided to go back to school so it's on hold for a while.
Here is what it was going to look like,
While a TT setup is really cool, it is also alot more money, but then again on one ever said speed was cheap
Here is where I was thinking about just making the headers for a TT setup (that's my old motor as it was being yanked out
).

It can be a real easy bolt on affair if you find a complete Martin set-up. Not the most efficient set-up, but easy and fits the stock hood. A friend has one on his '78 and reported 1.5 second drop in 1/4 mi et.
