I am here to testify that it would cost a MINT to properly turbo or supercharge a six! Sixes cost much more to build than a SBC--my STOCK 235 in my '52 coupe cost over $1400 in parts (no labor) to build, the only extra being $140 for balancing which would be a must for a blown engine. I can build a stock 350 for $700 in parts. I can't imagine what a six build-up for a blower would cost. Forged pistons alone would bankrupt my budget. I like sixes, but it isn't worth it.
