I know. My preference is to inexpensively fix the 174. However, I've put in more than 20 hours from the beginning of this project trying to find parts, etc., still am. It ain't looking too easy and probably depends on simple dumb luck.
The cheapest centrifugal kit I've seen, and it was questionable was on CL for like $800. Considering I'd have to still get headers, an intake and blower carb that's considerably more than say this kit, if it stays low, which eliminates the need for headers. Also, while some of ya's are skiddish about getting turbos to work, more than a few users have expressed an interest in a V8 Turbo. It also has more pull for the kids. It isn't a slam dunk decision. There are lots of competing factors and values.
