So here's the plan (CTX and anyone else feel free to weigh in).
Re-ring the motor and do whatever necessary inside (which could be new pistons).
Have the pistons coated with heat-resistant coating
Port and polish the heads
Move the turbo off the intake manifold and weld the adapter to the collector on the passenger side (which also would probably delete the a/c pump)
Run lines for an intercooler
Use the turbo I mistakenly bought for the 455 - and really, you might convince me to get a different turbo, but it won't be an easy task because it just needs to work. The current turbo is bad.
replace the injectors to 60 lbs
Use either my Holley or MS3x computer to run this.... probably the MS3x because it's the same computer I'm going to use on the 430 build for the 50 Buick and learning it will only make the other motor better.
Simply rebuild the transmission and perhaps put a 2300-3000 rpm stall converter in it to match the 4.10 rear gears.
