I have a 1995 dodge ram 1500. It has a 360 LA Mopar motor and i want to turbo it. Would anyone know any company that sales a kit and would a kit for a magnum motor work for the LA Style motor?

 

Its a 360 LA Mopar motor that has a stock polished crank. 0.60 over hypertonic pistons. Slightly upgrades rods. ARP Rod Bolts. Upgrades rockers. Aluminum Elderbrock heads that are ported like a ****. Elderbrock high rpm intake that is ported to match the heads. So itll handle boost i believe. Just need to find a kit. I just want a cheap kit like off ebay or something. Truck is for show and for fun not racing. Am looking for power but not trying to spend a **** ton doing so.

 

Also has a good size cam in it

 

Truck is all setup for a turbo kit just need to buy the turbo kit lol. Built motor. Stock trans so we will see how that handles.... But i got 2 step!!!

 

So correct me if I’m wrong but a 1995 360 is a magnum engine (I had one) did you convert to the LA style?

Also turbos will make power yes but I’m against turbos now since everything’s being converted to twin turbo V6 engines (ram is done with hemis next year and will have twin turbo v6) my personal opinion building that v8 the real way wouldn’t include a turbo, if you wanted good power should have done a 408 stroker build. My personal opinion, but to each their own

 

Yes sir it’s swapped

 

And it’s not really for power to much. It’s a show truck and to just have fun in. I’m wanting hella power tho and I like my turbo noises

 

A lot of power that won’t get used to often ya know. Who knows it’s starting to fall under the drag truck category but oh well we will see when it’s done I assume

 

You will need a blow through carb to run a turbo. Might want to upgrade to a forged crank also. Here is a kit for the FI magnum.(this is NOT a cheap kit $).
