The fuel injection is a good idea, because it simplifies fuel metering, and makes said metering more reliable, which helps keep the engine alive. However, slapping a turbo on a stock, nearly 50 year old engine is not. I would at the very least replace the rings and bearings. While you're at it, replace the pistons with forged parts, and drop the compression ratio.
Or, you could skip all that, run very low boost (~5#) and hope things hold together. The engine could live for a while, but I wouldn't put money on its long-term prospects.

You all know that I have a 1965 plymouth barracuda. I want to install
single port sequential fuel injection, and turbo charge in attempt to
get better mileage and to give it more power. Has anyone done this
before with a stock engine? Also, does anyone know where I can get a
trans brake for a 904 tranny, that still can be driven normally? I
have looked everywhere for this, and the only ones i found you have to
select each gear manually to shift.
