The three main bearing lower end will become weak at some point. If you push it far enough, the center main will be over stressed and you will see cracks on the outside of the block in this area. A five main diesel block and crank would be stronger. The best thing to do is get some advise for a good engine builder. Keep in mind: the engine needs strength not high rpms, high compression and turbos generally don't mix, air flow in and out of the engine is VERY important-this means manifolds, ports, valves, cam and the turbo runners need careful thought, the turbo must be sized correctly to make the desired boost from the amount of exhaust cfm at the given engine rpm.

Take your time and plan it all out before you start. It could be a fun project! Good luck.

Back about 1977-198+ Pete Lusseto of Bridgeport Nebraska ran an M in the Superstock class twin turboed did really well...owns a machine shop there,still going. They had a hot running and fun to watch tractor. I'm sure they could give you lots of advise and maybe even parts. I live in Oregon now so I don'thave a phone # for him. You should be able to find through directory assistance.
