ICON used to make a great setup for that motor, but they've since went out of business. You can get the kits on ebay from time to time.

For a homemade setup, check THIS site out.

I was thinking of doing the type of idea but ended up getting a supercharger! (Now to get it all together!)
If there is a way of putting you altenator and power steering down low in the engine compartment you should have loads of room!
I had looked all over the internet to see what has been done for this and found that lots of junkyard parts are used to do this for as little cash outlay as possible. One guy used two turbos from Eagle talons and routed them to a powerstroke intercooler then into a carb encloser. He didnt go into specifics on what carb and stuff that he was useing but he did go from a 19second Quarter mile to a high 15 second one!
