Here is my thinking. Eventhough I did finally score the LS1 I don't plan on using it in the 69 Vette.
I think there is ample room on the Vette to put a single turbo on the passenger side up high which would avoid the oiling issues.
I would like to believe an intercooler could be mounted on top like the Callaway just before the throttle body.
It would be great to have a spare burned up Turbo of the correct size and style for my application that I could spend time playing with in different mounting configurtions BEFORE I drop the $$ on the actual unit (or units).
Been thinking this over and I realize that forced induction is the one area I have never had much hands on involvement.
I could also go to a roots style blower and work out the plumbing to clear the hood or simply raise the hood a tad. However, I don't see the challenge and reward as great in that avenue.
Where do you think I could find a wasted burned up good for nothing turbo to use as a mock up unit?
