Yes there is. Ebay is good but the source must be reputable. For $350 you’re asking for trouble.
Swamps as you mentioned, cncfab, riffraff, diesel site etc
Diesel has a nice ball bearing for $1200. You can’t go wrong with them. Bob is a standup guy.
I don’t know the offerings for swamps but again, Jonathan will stand behind anything he sells. @corey@cncfab same deal. He will take care of you too. He might even give you a better deal with a kcturbo and fuel lines (wink wink) a just ask him.
If you’re gonna spend that kinda dough, ya might as well go kcturbo. It’s only $300 more. $1500. I have one. Kicks (__!__).
Good luck!

It wont let me post a link but if you search Stephen Cox on Youtube youll find it.
The company building the turbo is Blaylock. They're going to do a switchblade conversion.
I'll be waiting for the videos. https://www.youtube.com/user/sphinx4785
A 38R Is typically a upgraded turbo with ball bearings, different wheel, etc. Nowadays most people hate them, not as much as the hate on a 66. Lol
There are considerably better options out now though.
If I can get a sponsor on board Id gladly do a t4 conversion. I dont mind buying the turbo but Id rather have a t4 kit rather then trying to fab one myself. Iv tried contacting Irate and havent heard back. Im excited about the switchblade setup. Im just trying to get the most bang for the buck. I can send them the stock one and they'll convert it and put a larger wheel in it and I think they're going to put a different compressor housing but Im not sure. My thought is that a switchblade conversion on a 38r or a t4 would be a lot better than modifying the stock one.
thank you for watching!
We have done dozens and dozens of 500-600hp builds typically use the KC38R. The updated version has done very well. My shop truck dynod 553/1131tq with the setup you are doing and I even had a cracked head. Lol.
Here a pic of a customer truck we just did this week. Swamps 238/100, KC38R, and the rest of the normal supporting mods towing his 37' 14k 5'er camper at 55mph. We put in a custom built Haisley Machine dual disk clutch too.
Shoot me a PM, I may be interested in sending you some things.
Only buy oem, dieselsite, cncfab Or if money isn’t a thing, go see Carlson stauffer diesel.
