just wanted to say hi as a new member of the site. ive been watching the site as i looked for a good donor truck waiting till i get one b4 i join. just picked up a 95 ext cab for $500 with a blown 2.2L 5spd. i had an old 79 camaro i built for bracket racing but died. the s10 is already disassembled and will soon be recieving the 383 stroker after i get the parts from summit to get it running again along with the BW T1-10 4spd. and i just picked up a chevy SB turbo from my fiance\'s father for $300.



The Question: wondering if any1 knew how the exhaust would have to be routed to fit the turbo under the hood (2\" cowl which can have a hump moulded to fit). its a single turbo designed for use with a 650-800 double-pumper carb. was originally used on a 1967 camaro with a 327. ive been told the turbo fits in place of the battery plate, but as the v8 isnt ready to be put in i cant tell for sure. any1 with experience or knowledge with a mid-aged v8 s10 TURBO placement, input would be appreciated...



Thx for eduring my \"life story\"-length question http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif



Sincerely, 1320

Good luck with your turbo set up. Not that many have been done so theres not going to be alot of info on that install.

Would like to see some pic in progress.
