Default carburated engines

is it possible to twin turbo a carburated engine? i have a 5.0 HO that is going into my 88 thunderbird t-cpe. the engine has a high rpm cam, and i have a carburator set-up on the way(its being shipped). the carb/manifold setup is an offenhauser single pane high rise plenum lower intake manifold, with a holley 750 4-barrel. anyone have any clue if youre supposed to be able to turbo something like that? cause im gonna try, and any help would be, um, helpful. thx



also im getting new piston rings to help hold the extra pressure

first, id recommend a smaller cam and carb you will easily make enough power to split a factory 302 block 100%stock, no reason to kill low end torque

as long as you have good cylinder pressure, no need for new rings, at the most id look into arp headstud/bolts

go to www.turbomustangs.com for all the info you'll need

make sure oil pressure is right to feed both and also the engine itself. gonna have to drop the compression ratio into somewheres on the low 8.5.1 or something like that. two turbos adds a lot to a motor. a good cylinder head, cam, and piston combo will do u good. also stronger internals.
ALSO DEPENDS ON BUDGET! also his cam should be alright. his gonna need to high rpms to turn both turbos
