I'm hopefully going with a blow-through carb setup using a big Turbo from a 7.3L truck... Of course this is on a 393 stroker....

Yes it can be done with kits or otherwise. Here's a homemade set up - go to the link and click on the top of the page where it says "turbo pics".

Well I guess that's a good thing to know. I was thinking about next summer turbo charging my carb'd 5.0 mustang and I never even thought about it not being compatible lol. Good thing I read this

How efficient is this? can it be done with a double carb set-up like a supercharge combo.

I would ask over in the carb turbo forum on www.turbomustangs.com you'll get more response. It is very efficent, but I do not remember seeing a dual carb set-up personally
