Jon -
Weren't you talking about trying to find someone that made a turbo that
might fit the truck ?
What about finding two Garrett turbos from an old Shelby in a yard and
working them out ?
I strain to think of how this would work with the damn computer !
Someone has done it somewhere , I'm sure .
I had a 1986 Shelby Charger and that car would whip most things it came
across , even with 135K and blow-by from hell !
