This is one of those things that I'm a bit divided on. 1. It would be nice to see a "period" technology piece built. Almost steam punk I suppose. Lol.
2. With so many off the shelf engines with turbos already bolted on. The hard work has been done for you. So why bother messing with a setup which is far from ideal. Injection is much better for turbo applications. So just get an engine, ECU and loom and go from there. After collecting parts, building it, developing a package and tuning it... .. Might as well just pick up a 1.0 ecoboost engine and use that! Will be far more economical and reliable than a 30+ year old OHV having boost pushed through it that it was never designed for.
