so i'm tired of my 305's no power/gas guzzlin ways and have decided to start building myself a 350 this winter , I have decided that I want this 350 to be Twin Turbo powered. this will be the first engine I will be building with forced induction and would like some feedback on how feasable/painfull
this will be in my 5th gen , also what are some good places to get some knowledge /advice for this type of a system anyone?

Corky Bell's Maximum Boost is a good read if you want to do it yourself. Also check out turbomustangs.com (www.turbomustangs.com). A ton of info, just search for info before posting a general question like "What size turbos do I need?" All of the info is already there.

Don't forget that you'll have to buy/build blowthrough carbs or do some custom programing if you go the injection route. I've got a buddy with a turboed ls2 (pics avail) and it's going on 16 months and he's still tweaking.
Blown is by far the easiest way to make roughly the same power with half the head ache.
I'll admit that nothing compares to a great blowoff valve sound but blower whine is nearly as pleasing.
It'll take TIME and ingenuity, but keep us informed.

I assume you're planning on pump gas (93 octane?). From what I've read (though I've never built a blown, turbo or supercharged engine) and for what it's worth, the bottom end's strength (Forged crank and rods and 4 bolt mains preferred) and avoiding preignition/detonation will likely be your two most important factors to consider (other than cost of course).
Rear end and transmission gearing and converter stall choices will play into the equation as well.
Good luck. Look forward to seeing the results when you've got her all polished up and running well.

the highest i can get here is 94 octane...it's pretty sucky but w/e
when i do the engine , the transmission and rear end will be changed out as well
