anybody?

If only using low boost pressures, there is no reason why you can't drop the turbo enxternals onto your existing block.
You need to confirm it isn't a high compression engine first however.... www.manchesterminis.co.uk has engine numbers on it's technical section, that show high or low CR i'm sure...
If no engine number, take off the head and check the pistons.
I don't believe there is a great advantaqge in using a 'turbo' head for low boost. The chamber volumes will be nearly identical incidentally.

Oh, i'd advise you use the turbo distributor aswell.... or be willing to spend time on a decent RR getting the advance altered.

chears for the info. My other engine which is a turbo is runnin on points and it seems fine and wont i need the turbo head as the exhaust valves are sodium filled.

You won't need to use those valves for a low boost engine...
