Maybe it depends on the hood? Seems like 70-76 hood would have less clearance than 77-81 just looking at the shape.

Anyway...good topic. I have a 70 with original I6 and was also thinking a turbo would be fun, but with all the spare V8 parts I have it would be much easier to just swap a traditional Pontiac into it.
