turbocharger

is it possible to put a turbocharger on a big block chevy (454 or 502). if so do you have to have a special manifold? and how does the pipe from the turbo attach to the manifold...do you have to fabricate something to fit there, or are there companies that make products for that? if it is possible. i would like to run about 12-15 lbs. boost max. should i upgrade to better heads and fuel system to accomodate for the turbo?

Yes it is possible. I don't know the details of it but a friend of my dad has done it several times.
