Title: So, I'm Thinking about My Silverado
Post by: Scott D on January 01, 2011, 11:58:54 PM
I could put a turbo on it, but it's got almost 290,000 miles on a stock engine. Also, I don't know if it came with cast or forged internals :(

cast i believe and you may be headed for blow-by issues if you throw boost at it.. those rings aren't as strong as they once were lol

cast pistons can handle a little boost, but i would say 5psi max

I wouldn't mind putting a small block 454 into it, but I'd rather throw that money at something with a Blue Oval.

I know, I need a Mustang :D

And see, I could throw that money at my Thunderbird, or another project car, should I be able to talk my most beautiful, sweetest, most loving and understanding wife in the whole wide world into :)

The only problem with that is I want to daily drive the bird, and I wouldn't want my blower to get rained on...

Which is why it will probably get a turbo.
