Turbo 454? Posted By: machme72 On: 01-04-2008 @ 03:31:36 Reply | Edit I know you can swap a 454 into the 3rd gen t/a without extreme difficulty, assuming you are able to resolve the fuel/heat issue. Now I know it is a snug fit but would it be possible to add a single turbo to the engine without modding the hood of the car. I understand that fuel injection and such would be a must, but would there be enough room for the plumbing of the turbo(s). If it has been done before a link to the thread or whatever would be usefull, unfortunatly i have not found a whole lot on a 454 swap. i'm looking at a fuel injected 454 paired up to a stand alone fuel system,then a turbo on the back. thank you for you time Posted By: roubenbird On: 01-08-2007 @ 11:47:25 Reply | Top | Edit Not to be debbie downer but, if your going to do that much to a car, (you'll have to mod/get a new tranny, rear, frame), what is the difficulty in getting a new hood? --

I have a 4" cowl hood and am using just bout all of it. I don't have a bbc though, but as far as the hoods concerned it probably is the same or worse.  -- The crap gas wonder: 1982 Z28, forged 10:1 383, ported 23* trick flow heads, 246/254 .558/.558 hyd. roller, 3.73's, 3500 stall 11.44@117.8, 405rwhp, 337rwtq Video: http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f305/fast82z/?action=view¤t=fast82z20062.flv AIM:fast82z (Feel free to hit me up.)

I also know that turbos have a lot of plumbing that needs to be resolved and some of the carb clearance issues will be resolved by going with FI . the allure is that the engine has more than enough torque in the low end for me, its just bringing those hp ratings up. I also understand that everyone seems to go with superchargers, and i would really like to try a turbo(oil cooled) out. pics of the 454 installed would give me a better idea as well.thanks again for the quick responses.

They explain what is actually needed to get Boost out of a Turbo Mounted that Far away from the Manafolds. Check.. www.twoguysgarage.com and find the episode. then figure out what they installed and call that Manufacture. Just a Suggestion
