DO NOT buy one of these, they are not true 70 mm turbos. Go to turbomustangs.com and search on these. Anyone on there can direct you to which one you need. Most likely a MPT70 will be what you need or one of the S400 series by borg warner.

check into a s400 75mm, I've seen them for $599 shipped. a t70 will be too small for your small block.

They are cheap china made replicas, most are t3 flange which is too small for your application and most parts with the kits will not hold up (cheap parts).

too small, I run a holset hx55 on my stock 350 and it works pretty good.
