Not currently. There are old turbo kits, including the Duntov, from the 70's and 80's that show up on eBay every once in awhile.

The SBC single turbo kits pop up pretty frequently. Search for Accell TurboSonic or Martin, they are the most common.

EDIT, you may be in luck here...

Draw through setup!

not sure on this but i remember seeing a kit for a carb turbo.. it was basically a box that you put on top that surrounded the carb and it only fit demons and certain types of holley's.. it looked pretty trick and I am sure if you look around you can find one.. they were pretty pricey though.

the guy wth the ebay turbo was very honest. he went with nitrous since he wanted more power easy installation, and low cost.
