Anyone turbo a BBC?
I'm woundering because I just got a stock 454, and I've always wanted to have a forced induction motor. Is there any resources that are on the net for BBC turbos? The main problem that I see happening is the manifolds.
Thanks
Thanks

I've never turbocharged one for myself, but I have helped put several together for my friends, but they were just for racing or serious street cars. The headers were all custom made to each application.

The BBC in sweden with the 502, is this it or is this just a nice twin turboed 540
Old thread for 540
Check that out for some ideas on how to redo the engine bay. Like the relocating of the master cyclinder and the custom firewall for the super built tranny and to fit the 540.

I was looking through the parts section of ebay today and came across a BBC TT kit. I think they wanted 5k or so for it. Looked like all it had was manifolds and the turbos. Didn't really look at it though. Check it out if you want.

All it looks likeis the manifolds & turbos.
Yea the master cylinder was a cool idea, even without the turbos it looks sweet with that space there!
