I have been wanting to do a turbocharged engine for some time now.I know that people on here have had experience with tubros. So my question is what I6 or I4 engine block would be best for a turbo setup. I am going to start looking for an engine block for me to build up and prepare for a turbo.

theres a bunch of people who have done 300-6 turbos in trucks. ford-trucks.com forums has the build ups. i think thats a great idea.

The 2300 pinto/mustang svo engine block and recip assembly will handle 500hp. You might find some info on the 250 I6 block on www.fordsix.com. I think the 300 would be a little heavy for a car. They even have a new aluminum head for the small 6's based on one of the Aussie 6 heads.

Yeah a base aluminum head for a 6 is 1500 assembled.

A pair of finished AFR SBF heads run $1400+.

what ever happend to a small block 289 or 302? All these posts on i4's & 2.3l hurts my thought process on what a classic is........its a sad day........

I like the idea. Lightweight car, lightweight drivetrain, 5spd, gears... If it were me, I'd go turbo. Anyone can build a v8 and throw in there.

Well it is a mustang, it should have a v8, if you want some honda power buy a civic or a lawn mower and go at it.
