Mycarispurty Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 There's a local guy selling a very clean looking F54 flattop engine from an 82 I think it was, however it has the P79 head, not an N42 or P90. I already have the turbo exhaust manifold and I can get a turbo oil pan but I was just curious if anyone had bolted a turbo system onto a head with the exhaust liners. I have many options, but this one is clean and complete as far as the long block so I thought I'd ask. The reason I like that option is it has the flattops in the bottom end, where as the engine in my car, which runs great and has awesome compression has dished. I have a rebuilt N47 on my car, which has exhaust liners as well. If the exhaust liner heads blow rod for this purpose, I'll have to pass and just bolt an N42 or P90 head to my current bottom end.

kvansic162 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I also want to put a turbo manifold on a round port n-47 head...Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators BRAAP Posted May 21, 2008 Administrators Share Posted May 21, 2008 Yes it can and has been done successfully and discussed here on a few occasions. If memory serves, the latest discussion on that topic, last summer, was the most enlightening, though I don’t recall the exact thread, sorry. Hopefully one of those guys that did it will chime in or you might try a few strategic terms in the search engine. Not sure if these terms will help or not, but it is a start at least; “Round port Turboâ€, Exhaust liner Turboâ€, P-79 Turboâ€, "N-47 Turboâ€, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
