But i think the easiest, fastest and cheapest way for more performance is to drop a 350 in there. Gm performance has a few good ones for not too much $$$. An LS swap might be easier, cheaper too.Thanks for the article! I joined an inline 6 group on Facebook and I learned about how expensive it was today but I still feel like it would have the cool factor! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

RE: How much:i guess if you have a welder and access to a pipe bender, you may be able to rig something up for fairly cheap? But i look at things in terms of time as well. And i think the easiest, quickest, cheapest, fastest way to get more power is to drop a 350 (or ANY small block) in there EVEN with all the extra parts needed.Another thing to consider is that with the turbo, there will be some/a lot of screwing around with the carb to get it right. Whereas with a 350 with stock to mild cam, with a good dual-plane manifold, it won't take much if any messing around with the carb to get it running right. Something off the shelf will likely work ok. (Just my opinion)The FAST fuel injection says it works with turbos and if true then this might be a game-changer for you?The bottom line for me is: IF you LIKE the engine AND you have the time and $$$ to screw around with it, then that is a good enough reason to proceed. Hopefully you have another car to use as transportation......
They make a specific turbo manifold for the 250/230/292 styles. Around $400, then it's just a matter of sizing turbo and figuring intake. A self tuning EFI should match up pretty good.Keep boost at reasonable levels, and you can likely double power pretty easy. And if you do your shopping, you could probably piece together enough for under $2,000.Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk
