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...

Swapping to a 289 takes a lot more than small mods. The engine itself may cost more than the turbo, not counting the suspension and everything else that would need changed with the bigger motor.

RE: 65 mustang

to turbo a classic u'd have to build ur own kit. I don't think it would be that hard. Blow through set ups aren't as good though. U'd need a box for the carb and the rest is just like any other turbo kit. Remote mount wouldn't be that hard, just a lot of piping

Hahaha, put a skyline engine in it. The geniuses at F&F have proved that as the best way to get the high pitched sound out of your Mustang. Put a fart can on it too.
