turbopack,
this is my first post on here and this conversation has forced me to respond...

I had a 51 dodge pickup that I was halfway through a turbo setup before I gave in on a trade. I just bought a 49 deluxe touring sedan. this is the first car that I have wanted to restore to stock. of course i will throw some nitrous to it when she's in paint and road worthy but she will have a stock appearance.
don't give up, torquer motors are great with turbos. this motor would sound INCREDIBLE with one of those hybrid turbo and a nicely muffled blow off valve.
I want to know what happens. I have an old volvo turbo that I might want to do something with. what is redline on a straight 288? thanks ~mac
