    Turbos+carb w/different approach

    You can put a turbo on anything and use a blow thru carb. Its getting the custom headers and intake tubing done. Then getting a combination together and a carb setup to work for it from a carb shop that knows blow-thru's.

    I'm guessing IF 231 PART SWAP OVER, you could use a GN header, intercooler, tubing to the intake then just add what is needed to go from where it would normally hook up to the throttle body and where to carb hat is. The only difference is a distributor that might interfere with the intake tube on a non-DFI setup. I've never seen a blow-thru done on a v-6 before. it would be something very cool and different. It should be alot cheeper than doing fuel injection.

    Your thinking of those carb turbos that they used to use on early 78 Riv's. Stay clear of that. Good idea but wrong layout. Look at a typical intercooled fuel injection setup and just do it with a carb. You don't have to use a intercooler but would be a good idea if you want decent power out of it without race gas.
