Follow the link. My Carburetor has 11, "which is more isn't it." :rolling:

Ok, what am I missing about this Turbo kit, is it just getting overlooked? This also put it up with no reserve.

If it'll fit a 5.0 it should fit RX-Snake. Yes I know we'd have to change to a blow through carb and get another intake.

I see a couple of things to question about it. One, it says 94-95 GT headers. Does that mean they are the stock headers which only have 1 1/2 inch primary tubes or are they aftermarket headers with larger 1 5/8 primary tubes. Second, it is a T67 which I think is a really small turbo for a 5.0 V8 but I don't know enough about turbos to be sure. :huh: We need Steve to take a look at it.

Still stuck on the turbo idea, I see. It would be SO MUCH easier to just use a belt driven (if we are not using the 174)--like a Vortec.:p

Seller said custom headers with 1.7" primaries.

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.
