Check out the you tube video on the twin turboed dart swinger 440. He leaves a website address at the end. Let me see if I can find it for you.

Go to Butt-turbo.com twin turbo 470 that I did some welding on.Will be doing a twin turbo big block soon.You will probably be best to run a motor plate with a low mount alternator brkt. setup.Mount the turbo in the general area of the original mount for the alternator.Custom headers not required on most applications,alot of tubing is.Couple of projects in the works 72 charger twin turbo,genIII hemi twin turbo Abody car,and a single turbo early b body in thought.

Check out http://www.popularhotrodding.com/features/0711phr_1965_plymouth_belvedere/index.html.This is the guy that goes by 'Feets' over on Moparts. Not sure if he's still around since I haven't been there in many moons. He also had a hard running diesel that pegged the boost gauge just by nailing the pedal and holding the brake but not for long. It would overpower the brakes pretty easily. He had the Belvedere down in Houston several years ago at the Mopar show and race and like the article states, it was somewhat cobbled together but it ran hard! His pickup looked stock but it would boil the hides at will.

I last talked to Feets a few months ago. Ditto on the diesel - I remember huge burnouts on Brice Road and following his truck towing his turbo from Cincinatti to Fort Worth in one day. I could barely keep up in my six pack! He pulled the Belvedere out of a pasture and got it going. Not pretty, but it sure worked.
