Jerry, you forgot about the head studs for another $1000.
I'm waiting to see the results of throwing a turbo on a 292.

To the OP: Turbos only work well at higher RPMs, and won't give you much low RPM "grunt". For that you need a supercharger rather than a turbocharger. The difference is the turbocharger is driven by exhaust spinning a turbine which spins a compressor wheel in the intake, while the supercharger is a mechanically driven compressor wheel, not depending on exhaust flow to spin it.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
