Chit ton of write ups on this, Google is great!The truck is gonna be laid up in the shop for a month or so so I figured id try and get as many per mods done to it while its all ripped appart. I use the truck for hunting, fishing, camping (its a big camper 1800lbs empty) and some trail riding. Final product I would like to have Twins (to be discussed later), injectors, o-ringed and mildly ported head, fuel system, g56, 3.37's, detroit tru-trac up front and 38" boggers.
1) Turbo: Ive got a stock 92 h1c on it now. Ive got an he351cw with no shaft play sitting on the bench. Now I know it has a 9cm housing and fab is required to clock it and retain the wastegate, this isn't a probem as i have a mig,tig and a plasma. I'm getting ready to order up and exh adaptor flange to weld to my 4" and install the turbo. For future use once I am more literate in the twin turbo world could i use this turbo with say an s375 or s400?
Stay in the mid to high 30's on boost and they cool well, I've ran one way out of it's map and it held together. Yes a 475 primary pairs well with a ported 351
2) Injectors: Ive got stock injectors now. The most I'll be towing with the single, auto, 3.07's and the 37" tires is 5000lbs. What size of injector should i start looking at? I'm fine with having to buy a new set once I've put the twins and 6spd in. Wait until you are ready to do the twins, no point in wasting money now for injectors you can't tow with now, are you sure you have 3.07's?
2.5) Also would there be a downside of running my stock injectors for a month or so with the he351? None
3) 3" cooler tubes: Is it a worth while upgrade to install 3" tubes while using the stock intercooler? Won't hurt, but I'd wait until you found a good intercooler
4) Grid heater delete: for the warmer months in canada when u can get away with it is there any noticable gain? I'm thinking of building my own manifold neck to replace the stock one that would be for use without the grid heater outta 3" mandrel bends. I have all my heater grids off all trucks sitting in my tool box, I take them off for battery conservation, BUT I LIVE IN A F'ING OVEN. I've started just find not plugged in, in the low 20's. But not day in and day out
5) kdp: its just gonna get done lol Shoulda been done a long long time ago
6) Electric fans: what all are you guys using? I'd like to keep it mech but the fan is all bent up from the accident.Since you tow I'd suggest finding a used/new stock fan for your truck, You need to research it, but I do believe that the 2nd gen ones will work if you change out the hub, maybe wrong I think I remember reading about it somewhere.
This is all for now but im sure more ideas will arrise. Its really putting the turbo on that i'm wondering about.

Yes on the porting. I would think a little tighter exhaust housing, but I honestly don't know for sure. What flange are you talking about? If your truck isn't running right now doing a gasket match on the exhaust side would be a good idea. Just some time with a carbide bit.
Now I'm with you on flange and porting, VERY good idea!!!
Block should be bottom tapped every time you remove the head IMO, lots of crud at the bottom of the holes. One set of studs require rockers to be whacked down a little, another set requires the webbing in the valve covers to be cut out. Research on the subject should yield some good answers about what is cheaper.
