junkyard turbo's

[JGTurbo]

so will a turbo from another inline six (diesel) like a Dodge Cummins work on a gasoline Ford 300?

I've ran quite a few tests with the Cummins Turbos (98.5 and newer) and they all look like they'd work very well. There were a few variations over the years but they all look like they'd work great up to about 450hp on either a 250 or 300. Import guys use them all the time on their 2.0L-2.5L motors and they say the turbo spools at about 3000rpm. So on a motor twice the size they should spool nice and soon. There's also the 6.7 Cummins VGT turbos that are going for very cheap on eBay, but they're kind of another story altogether. I'll start another thread...
