Wasn't planning on it but brought this few days ago to realise how big it is after putting it next to the engine.
Mate says be interesting to see what it makes after I build the engine and tune etc..
I also heard rear mounting is not a bad idea.
What's people's opinions?

Do you have any specs on it? Will very quickly help us tell you if it's going to even work. Chances are it's going to be too large to easily get to a usable zone as far as tune and cam selection go.

Let alone plumbing for a single that size.

lol I haven't even looked that up yet. It was a oh yeah I'm just going to get it and see what I can use it on.
It's got the I'd tag so I think i should look it up haha.
I'm weird at times and don't even do a search until I buy something

That's sexy stock internals too.
Love the sound of a v8 with a turbo or charger strapped to it

Looks close to hx55 holset sizes which im putting on a 400ci v8 and id really love to take it out to 461 with that size snail...

Remove the housings and measure the wheels and check for housong stamps or post the build plate and we'll be able to get a rough idea on size.

Just add nitrous to the build so you can spool it up faster.
Then hang it out the bonnet. She'll be right mate
