Find a complete '94-98 Dodge to use as a donor. (Could have had a 4x4 dually w/broken frame for $1500 last week if I'd only had the funds )

You can go with used turbos for twins, like a HX35 and a HT3B. Say $500 for the pair.

The rest is making up mounts and turbo plumbing... plus any upgrades you want to buy. Sky's the limit of course, but you can have the basics together fairly cheap.

94 to 98.5 is a p-pumped 12 valve.

The reason I suggest 94-98 is the transmissions are better, and t-case is already on the left side.
