The easiest way to do this would be to buy a turbo parts car and install
everything. You could buy a 7xx series and then you wouldn't have to change
your fuel pump. You will have to adapt all the computers and wiring. There
was a web page from a guy in AZ I think that put a B230FT in his 87 245.
Everything from a 2xx series turbo bolts in but you will have to change
the fuel delivery system because they both use different injection. The
7xx series uses the same type of fuel injection. Scott Hart of IPD installed a B230FT in a Bertone coupe that he used to have.
You know if you just want enough power to easily make it over the mountain
you may want to just consider addding a performance exhaust and the VX cam.
Modify the airbox for only cold air and this should have you around 135hp. That would make your car much more responsive with better low rpm torque than a turbo. According to what I read in Paul Grimshaw's book it will have
much more high rpm power with the VX because the stock cams fall off above
4k rpms but the VX was good to 5500rpm. Hope this helps you.
