I'll bet Pacesetter would do it. They already have the head flanges and the general layoutthe truck. I'd be careful doing a turbo setup though. I would say definitely get an M1, an intercooler, and a timing retard. That was a pretty funny vid you posted, but those guys f'ed that truck up. I'd bet the reason that they don't make turbos for our trucks is that they are known for detonation problems andanyway. That and a poor intake manifold design.The boost plus the hot air was sure a little more than thier motor could handle. It ran good for a little while though.lol
