What I actually have is a turbo assembly from a '79 231" Buick regal that needs rebuilding. The carb plenum is for a Q-jet and it is from another car. I was planning on just adapting it to the existing steel tube manifold I built for the rat rod. There is no carburetor with the unit I'm getting. Height is NOT an issue! The car has no hood and as it is now, the carb is in direct line of sight at eye level out the windshield already.
After further exploration, I think I may modify the intake portion of my Intake/header assy. to better accommodate the turbo. I don't know if my Holley NASCAR 390, (This is NOT like the regular 390. It is a double pumper with big accelerator pumps, mechanical secondary, no vacuum ports of any kind, and a secondary metering plate with jets, and provision for secondary power valve.) will be capable of feeding the turbo setup. It is the carb I'm using now with my fabricated intake.
