4.2L Turbo Build

[Andyman2008]

Anyone interested in doing this I can give some pointers. I boosted my 4200 3 years ago and daily it 32 miles one way to work Monday through Friday. At 10 pounds of boost I can attest to you it will move.
It took me around 9 hours start to finish including wiring in the computer. I get average 23 mpg and have had zero mechanical issues.

I moved your post here from that other thread. It was a mess over there.

Why not just write it up? I'm sure there is still some interest out there for this engine.

im interested depending on costs

I'm interested also depending on cost.

I'm interested, and I don't even own a 4200.

(on edit) 9hrs start to finish? That means it's running on stock internals.
Now I'm *really* interested.

I guess there's not enough of us that show interest

Weird “light the fuse and run” post…??? Sounds very cool to do. These 4.2s are durable, I’m sure a few on here could figure it out and help those interested.

I would think it's much less work to add a turbo then doing an LS swap.
