plum crazy dart

Well the kid and i have been discussing a slant to v8 swap 74' dart..(you might have seen the thread) Now he's thinking how about a turbo project. Might be a little more costly but definately more unusual. Not looking to build a race car but i know he's gonna want to be able to smoke some tire. He's been down to a local race shop that races grand nationals. If you're local to Lebanon Valley dragway you've probably heard of or seen at least one of their cars (Cottons performance.) They have a turbonetics t4 turbo that is slightly larger than the stock grand nash turbo for $300 that needs a rebuild. Son used to work for a fuel injection co that does a lot of turbo work so he may be able to get a deal. They told him the 225 would have plenty of power to run it and he wouldn't have to go to forged internals. We've been researching to see what we could learn. I know one of our members bill dedman has a pretty serious build. Not looking for that intense of a project. What are your thoughts...anyone working on something like this.... have you tried it...Is it ridiculous? Should we just stick to the v8 swap? Here's a shot of one of Cottons Grand nat's.
