don't know if it is a good thing or bad. i believe that trying to turbo a flathead is a pursuit for the rich, the informed tinkerer or the armchair racer. you will not get a reliable source of increased power from this method. you'd be better off getting a 2bbl cast iron dodge car intake and dropping a tbi setup from a 6cyl gmc along with a hei distributor on the engine. get a stock set of cast iron manifolds split and port the intake and exhaust openings. balance the rotating assemble. get the already designed vpw cam and springs, shave the stock head and call it a day. or you could put in a 1000 318 dodge engine, with an available kit. more reliable. propane it if your country fuel supply demands it....
