You're going to need low compression forged pistons to do that, and you'll need to either fabricate your own kit OR buy one made for a smallblock. Your current carb will also not work, and you can expect to pay $1,000 for a blowthru carb unless you want to convert to fuel injection. Then you'll need better heads to take advantage of the turbo and you can expect to pay $500+ for a good set of heads.

Running power-adders is not cheap if you want it done correctly. I guess you could fabricate a "kit" using a junkyard garrett turbo, but don't expect a massive amount of power.

Basically, it's not going to be cheap. If you want "cheap", run a N/A motor with bigger cubic inches than what you have now.

your also gonna need fuel mods an a way to tune if you go fi . theres is all the info you need on this forum to build a turbo motor but it's not a good beginner project .you'll need to learn an understand a/f ratoi's an timing curves . it will help also if you have fabercation skills or at least friends that do . good luck tho i'm turboing my 92 camaro my main advise is study study study so you don't waste money poking an hoping .
