Better invest in a couple of big tubs to haul the engine pieces home after that installation! Take a good look at the crankshaft, main bearings, and connecting rods berfore you start adding the stress of a turbo to that bottom end. The 216/235/261 engines don't have enough main bearings to resist some serious crankshaft twisting, and the con rods are way too flimsy to take much turbo boost. Now, a 292 with a good set of billet rods would be an entirely different story!
