If I were you I'd run a twin turbo set up with turbos from a 300zx. They spool quick and can handle enough boost for one mean v8. You'll need intercoolers oil cooler oilfeed and return lines. Custom intake pipes and manifolds and new exhaust piping. And most likely bigger injectors and a standalone fuel management system.

There is always the remote turbo system. You mount it towards the rear. No need for intercooler or oil lines. Just need plenty of tube to route the air all the way back to the engine. http://www.ststurbo.com/
