Default Twin Turbo

Has anyone attempted to turbo their 302? I would like to try I realize I might have to custom build my manifold I am just trying to figure out where I could mount them. Not sure if I could in the engine bay.

I don't think it will fit. Most fox body Mustangs primarily go with a larger single turbo due to space. I have a buddy who is attempting to fab up his own twin turbo setup on his 93 and is having a hell of time with all the piping.

well... There is room for a twin turbo LSx, so the 302 should be no problem.

So if I where to do this what is the best displacement to run either 306 or 331 I know 306 will give me more rpm range as where 331 will give me better low end torque but will there be issues of with valve clearance with the 331 and what sort of heads should I match up with this I was looking at around 40lbs injectors with 8-10lbs of boost. I have been looking at all sorts of heads such as Edelbrock RPM or the new Edelbrock E-205 with a good set of 1.7 roller's.
