My guess is that its a high compression engine...and probably not worth ripping apart that engine to turbo it.
I would build something a little more suited to turbo.

Yeah, better off going to your local wreckers and getting a low comp motor and going from there.
I'd keep the race engine as is....

agreed,dont pull down a good motor to totally redesign it.
pull down an old crap one.
if you want any form of serious power with reliability you will install an efi turbo engine,vk efi if you must but a jap engine is really what you should be looking at.
ive done carby turbos,red motor turbos and they are crap compared to jap efi motors
