Never even knew such a thing ever existed.

Nice score!
Don`t know anything about it, but I bet it would be fun!
Seems to look like a good quality kit.

Are the turbo housings in the box?

Isn't he holding the housing in the 4th pic?

No thats the "draw threw box that goes between the carb and manifold. 82355 was asking about the turbo impeller housings.
After a 3rd look you're correct. He is screwed unless he has the housing or knows what housing is required.
No. That is the carburetor mount. It is the same object from a different angle that he is holding in the 3rd picture.

Yep, figured that out after looking a 3rd time at all the pics up close.
I'd love to get my hands on something like this. It'd probably change my 6.0 plans to an old school big block.
As to your question of value this guy was asking $1,800.

At least that gjuys has the housing included. I did a search myself and found that same ad earlier.
My dad has one of those kits,
Dad said it was really expensive, bought it for his Vette and never installed it. I've never seen another good score!!

The 8.5:1 low compression 454s of 73+ is an awesome basis for a turbo setup...
Ive been mulling over evil thoughts of boosting my big block for the cutlass but I figure nearly 600hp NA will be enough... for now

That's what the instructions say for compression to, also says no lumpy cams and works best on a stock setup . I think a small b&m blower will work better for me anyone want to trade ? I still think it belongs on a retromod or street truck ,I don't want to hammer it sense it is so rare . Someone might be able to mount up a more common turbo.

those are lots on V8s that are natural gas generators around here. now a days the 8.1L aka. 8100 vortec does the same thing. lots of gensets with them running on natural gas. we sell and service tons of them.
It looks neat. While in the face of modern compressor technology it's obsolete, it'd be an interesting build on a vehicle that someone was looking to be unique yet period-accurate.
