Cost and special parts to turbo

Man, I have been researching forced induction non stop for the last 4 weeks learning everything I can. The one thing I will tell you is its not cheap, but seems to be the best bang for the buck, and there are not many mopars out there with turbo.

I was lucky on my fuel system I bought it brand new off another FABO member for half price with fittings, but from what I have found a quality fuel system runs about 850-1000 for set up. The carb depends on if you are converting one to Blow Thru or buying one. I have seen the Demon (Barry Grant) on ebay for about $500 new for a 550cfm and 650cfm Blow thru. I think if you shop smart and be patient on deals, can weld your headers and exhaust you can do it under $4000. Theres a lot of nickel and diming.

I am at $3800 in parts alone in my S480 build. Still waiting on the cost of machine work like clean, magna flux, blueprint, balance and fitting the girdle. Pistons were close to $900 for Diamond with rings. Rods were a tick under $400 and still waiting on the factory forged crank to get turned.

You can review my thread "Turbo 383 in a A-body Barracuda" for a list of parts I have purchased. I am a "Bargain" shopper so I got alot of new parts cheap!!
