? about twin turbos

[Z-EATER]

I'm about get a 94 gt and I want to twin turbo it but I don't know much about turbos. If i put turbos on it while it's stock will i be able to use the same setup when I put a built 351w in it? and when I build the 351w is there anything different I should do to it compared to leaving it naturaly aspirated?

Maybe bigger turbos, but if your ultimate goal is the windsor, then you might get some that are slightly oversized for that 5.0. When building the Windsor, you'll want a forged rotating assembly, and LOW compression. Then the usual things as far as good flowing heads and intakes some nice cams that are well suited for a turbo.

If your ending goal is to have a 351 with twin turbos same up and go that route. To put turbos on a 5.0 then switch is more work than every one thinks. 5.8 is taller,wider. so the headers most likely will not fit. just because you will run out of room. As for the turbos them selves,you could buy ones a little big for 5.0 - and perfect for a 5.8. I would go with twin 60mm comprssors with .58 to .69 exhaust housings. As for engine forged every thing, and fuel fuel fuel.

I think I will wait to get turbos until I do the 5.8 cuz I don't want to wast money on the 5.0 exaust when I could just stick it into the 5.8. Thanx alot for the advice!

There is only one cam in a 5.0



And I would go ahead and find a 351W block. The stock block 302's aren't like the modulars, after about 450 whp, the life expectancy of the block is close to nill.
