turbo vs non turbo

[bigmech]

I need to know if you can add a turbo to a non-turbo engine? I have all the parts from my puked turbo engine and Lee has a nonturbo for sale. Does anybody have a engine and trans and transfercase for sale closer to Lansing Mi?

Go for it on adding the turbo. We did it on my son's truck, turned up the fuel to compensate for the added air's ability to burn it, and have been driving it for several years with no problem. Highly recommended!

One of my favorite driving M35's was one that was converted by the military from a normally aspirated to a "C" turbo truck... Ran like an absolute "bat..."
Loved the fact that the only tag they changed when they converted the engine was the one on the injector pump, the one over by the turbo still claimed that the engine was non-turbo (hence, I know how it started life...).
No reason not to convert the engine if you have the parts.
Good luck.
