Thinking of maybe picking up another vehicle to possibly turbo. Here are the options I am thinking about:

#1) 68-72 olds cutlass
#2) 92-96 Corvette
#3) 2nd gen Camaro or firebird
#4) 5.0 Foxbody

Which one would you choose and why.

 

How about a 67' Chevy II with a built stroker LS and a 101mm? Turn the boost down for the street but leave the parachute on. Dudes would soil their pants just sitting next to it at a light! Outside of that, i think a nice 70-73 Camaro with a cool setup would be hard to beat.

98-02 camaro, bigger market and not so many affordable options

5.0s have b&g custom turbo for a cheap turbo kit
i dont see many cutlass people using a turbo kit
most vette people may be interested
2nd gen camaro/firebird most people just use BBC and nitrous or a blower

just my .02

 

5.0L would be cheap and simple, a vette would be fun, cutless is just BADASS, dont care for second gens unless its a 70-71 split bumper camaro or a 78 trans am.

5.0L would be the easiest to find and get parts for IMO

How about something like a late model pickup truck?

 

Hmmm...

 

newer vortec silverado would be a good thing

 

94-96 Impala SS gets my vote

 

i am kind of confused, are you doing this to make a kit to sell, or for yourself

if its a kit, then i would vote late model trucks, gm and ford. there has been alot of popularity with these lately, and a kit for a gm truck should fit a tahoe or suburban also

if its for you, then i would do something with a s10, short cab short bed with a awd transfer case in it and a lt or ls motor

 

wait, after what dangalla said, I am confused as well. If it is your personal vehicle, i'd go old school muscle, if your going for a kit the newer trucks would be ur best bet.

 

I have thought about this as well.

 

both

 

I am gonna skip the truck thing. Impala is a good idea, but no enough demand (only offered for 3 years).

 

A single turbo C5 setup would be neat since everybody and their brother does twins for whatever reason.

I still think a late model truck kit would be your best bet since you could potentially adapt it to fit any truck or suv made in the last 10 years. And they made a lot of them.

 

Any disadvantage to picking up a caprice instead (cheaper)?
