The bigger the turbo the more turbo lag and the harder it is to spool up with out big cubic inch motor with lot of exuast pressure

macs typicaly had smaller chargers on them if i remember corectly. you need to break the housings off it, get a caliper and measure the wheel sizes, and find out what the ex housing size is, thats usually embossed in the casting. military trucks didnt have very large cubic inch engines, and odds are that turbo could pair to a built smallblock or bigblock pretty easy.  but like said before, get some part numbers, pics and info on it up.

man those ol mack engines run forever, look for a old day cab mack and sell it to them, or some one could convert there military to a better mack. the macks had better engines than the mulitifuels so a convertion would be good!               think about it no more blown head gaskets!
