I am at work and cant see the pics but, good luck with the build. I did the 306 turbo myself, and am in the process of switching it up to a 408 using a 1969 351 block. Remember that turbos are like crack, one hit and your addicted. Also you might want to have Brett (oldman) move this thread to the projects area of fordtech.

I moved your thread to the projects area of the Ford Tech. We just like to keep these great projects in the same area.

Keep the progress report coming! The project looks great!

Thanks man, It is a Turbonetics T-76, .96 A/R turbine side. Will more than likely run From 25-30 PSI or till the motor takes a shit.

I run a lower alt position by using a long bolt with spacer through top bolt hole into head. The bottom uses an adjustable boomerang shaped bracket.
Im also in brad, maybe I can drop by?
