you'd need 2 hairdryers on the C!!!
man that would be wild. you'd have to tub the rear end just to get enough rubber under there to move the thing. Smoking is bad for your health...not

you can take two engines both the same one turbo one with a blower even the same psi the turbo one will make more power only down side is you loose that deep throaty exhaust tone

IMO it would be easier and cheaper to just buy a 289 and add some small mods than turbo a I6 and have to upgrade everything...

like said above check out www.fordsix.com there is alot of info on turboing I6s and many people there have done it and if u have basic welding skills u can make ur own turbo setup for under a grand which is wut many of the people on fordsix have done and there r som people on the forum that have pushed 20psi on a stock motor(and i mean stock down to the 1brl carb) with only having to run racing fuel and this was on a motor that had never had a real rebuild
