Its not really that different from any other engine. You just. need to decide what you want to do. 1st, decide what fueling system you want to use. Carb, TBI, or MPFI.
And then decide if you want a single or dual turbo setup. The hardest part is running all the pipe. You will also want to start out with a low compression engine, like 8.5:1, and depending on how much boost you use, maybe change the head bolts to studs, and possibly have the heads O ringed for turbo/blower head gaskets.
Here is something I found on a Google search that should stimulate your brain!

I'd sell yeah an h1c off a 1st gen cummins. It has a rebuild kit in it but I snapped the pin wheel. They are about 80 bucks. It also needs an exhaust housing. They are about 100 used. If your interested 50 bucks or with my current housing for 150 plus ride.
