Engine questions

Hey guys i got myself a 85 Iroc z28 and it has a 350 TPI in it. I was just curious if i could turbo that safely? if so what kind of turbo. And what would be a good engine to buy stock that can handle a turbo if the 350 cant? not worried about money. just want to get an idea. wanna get something that i can turbo and turn some heads thanks guys! First post by the way so im new here

Re: Engine questions

but anyways, would it be safe to throw like a 500$ baby turbo on it and only use maybe 6-10lbs of boost?
