Junkyard 18R turbo kit

Has anyone tried junkyard engineering a turbo kit for an 18R? I know its not the best engine choice but I have several complete 8R and 18Rs lying around and I thought they would make a good test bench for learning how to design and build a turbo setup. Why ruin a good engine with some amateur mistake.
Anyway, I was hoping someone had tried it before and could give me some pointers.
For starters, I have a good block with the casting flash removed, stock internals, but the rods are polished and the rotating assembly has been balanced. I plan on porting the head with frequent measurements on a homemade flow bench, 3 angle valve job, and custom ground cam(not sure on the specifics of the cam grind, I need to do some more research). I have a Weber downdraft and I plan on using a blow-through setup with the turbo intake ducted, ram air style, to a hood scoop. I will have to fab an exhaust manifold and possibly an intake manifold if the stock cast aluminum one proves too restrictive.
I have read a fair bit of theoretical information on turbocharging, but I have no practical experience so I may blow up a few before I get it right.
Any ideas?
