Thanks for the response on the Carb, Tom. I appreciated your insight as I wasn't sure which 600cfm to use. There are many more carbs out there than I thought!

I'm leaning away from the SPA manifold. Seeing a few more build pictures of the preturbo piping, I am getting comfortable with the idea of welding it myself. Plus, I cant really fathom $500 for a piece of cast iron, no matter how nice and easy it makes the job. Remember, this is a low budget build ;\)

Hank, my main concern with those cast headers is running them together for preturbo piping. Seems like it'd be a PITA to weld the collector and bring it up to the turbo. I have very limited space between the side of the block, the upper control arm, and where I'd like the turbo to mount. This is in a 64 Chevy Belair, so space is limited, or so it seems.

Once I get the turbo I'll mock something up and look at my options.

Thanks gang.
