Ive done some searching, and still had a couple questions. Im looking into the turbo side of life, and though maybe i could get some advise. The car is a 65 mustang and weighs about 2900 with me in it. My goals are be able to run a mid to high 9 through a C4 trani using a 331 with a intercooled (A/A) Turbo. The parts that i know i want to use are a C&S Blow through carb, 331 Dart shortbock and a funnel web intake. SO what do i need for heads? What size turbo do i need? What size down pipe? What size exhaust? Any other suggestions, options, things to think about? Anything helps because in the turbo world, im totally lost! THANKS!

unfortunatly, the relocation isnt done yet, due to me having to wait for the shop thats going to do it to have space for my car, about a week. But i can get you in contact with the guy that had all the parts needed. He's got a pretty kick ass car back east, and gave me the following info. Hope this helps.

We stock and use the Mopar Performance relocation kit on Mustangs.
Off set rear shackles and front spring eye relocation kit.
Front spring eye relocation boxes can be bolted in, but work best if bolted and welded.
Rear shackles are off set as in somewhat of a mild "Z" shape.
Done and sold dozens of them.
A bit more than a bolt in and defiantly not for a novice, but nothing the reasonably mechanical individual can't handle.

The parts are $89.95 and $149.95 plus shipping respectively.

Thanks and let me know.

go check out turbomustangs.com they seem to have a wealth of knowledge, and a very large turbo info database and ive been checking into this stuff alot latley because i think it would be alot of fun to do something simmilar, also you could always try getting ahold of 10secgoal for turbo kits.
