You could use the T3 Turbo. Those were used on the SVO mustangs.

I'd be careful trying to run a TT setup (twin turbo) with a fairly stock bottom end. That looks like your going to make it your weak point, and running too high of boost will eventually shoot a rod out of your oil pan or possible ruin your top end. What are the specs on that cam? With a turbo set up you don't have to go with anything to radical. I'd venture to say about low to mid 400hp to the rear wheel done right and depending on the numbers of the cam and heads.

well i know the stock crank is very strong (i wanna say like mid 500hp? i heard) and the rods should be ok with arp bolts. and it will all be balanced too.
to be honest, i dont know the specs on that cam, i was basicly just throwing a cam out there[&:]

isnt the t3 a small turbo?

i got a T66 off the supra but i'm not about to try that on my new 331 when it comes in, i was going to remote mount a turbo to the rear and use the pipe as the intercooler kinda like STS but i dunno.

for your combo the stock crank and such.. meh.. 500-550.. block will give up before that :|

they'd hold 500-550 crank apparently before the block actually gives out, not the crank itself. though.. we've had a few last on stock cranks at over 600 but that's with a mexican block

If that's the case about the crank then you shouldn't have a problem. I would personally just run a bigger single ball bearing turbo, unless you want the power down low then I would go with two smaller ones.
