Do you have a link to the turbo kit that you're thinking of using?

IIRC, the early 80's Monte was available with a turbo 3.8L. If you're lucky enough to find one in a junk yard or something, then that might work.

to my knowledge 80,81 were the years for the turbo motor in the monte.your going to have to rebuild that motor and find all the turbo parts for it. i dont think its exactly the same as the grand national motor. at that point youre probably better of finding a gn motor for it or swap to a v8.
