I have a 58 B-61 with a naturally aspirated 673 Thermodyne which I would like to upgrade with a turbo. I thought about swapping the engine but mine only has 90K origional miles on it,ie. no rebiuld and runs great. I have 2 later model turbo setups a 1973 and 1978 with an intercooler, both Macks. Do I need to strengthen the bottom end? Change pistons to lower compression ratio? And how much boost will she handle?

Hey guys, thanks for the advise and direction. I have been keeping to the back roads and looking forward to a little pavement. I'll get some pics downloaded and am happy to keep you all posted. She's a rough old girl but do hope to take her to the prom some day. "So to speak"
