Unless you just enjoy the challenge or working on old engines, why don't you look around and get an L28 Turbo engine? I would think there are quite a few available in Florida. That way you could save your time and money for other "improvements" to your already factory "turboized" Z-car.

I agree that it would be best just to find a turbo motor. However if one is not available then to make a NA motor into a turbo you would need lower compression pistons, rings for those pistons, turbo, turbo plumming, and turbo electronics. I know there are a few goodies that are different in the fuel injection, like the AFM, etc.

Sorry to be so general but hope it gives you some ideas.

Have fun!
