I love the cowl vents and body seam filled because few people notice it. The ones who do usually say whats different about your truck. To me that defines the better mods. Anyone will notice a hood scoop or a choped top. If anyone is interested in seeing some really cool mods should check out Mclaughlin31. I havent seen him around in a while but he did some really innovative stuff.

PUD,
Do a search. Its possible that a FE was offered in a big truck that had a turbo. If not bolt your existing manifolds upside down and backwards so the exhaust pipe end points towards the radiator. Make a crossover pipe. Mount the turbo and voila! Its just that easy....thats why so few people have done it.

Oh, the cowl vents do serve a purpose. If you dont have AC they supply the fresh air for your floor vents. No big deal...roll the window down dummy! They do not affect the heater. There is plenty of air to be scavaged to make the heater blow. There is an outside air vent behind the fenders so that takes care of that problem.
