You would have to get a twin to that turbo you have, chances are it will be far far too small to work worth the time on a V8.

Might also have problems with the part where the compressor is likely too small as well as the exhaust housing, thus why I said he'd need a 2nd one

I have a T70 on my 350 TPI and that is about as small as I would go on a motor that size. I would go twin of those turbos that you have.
