Has anyone done a 2nd gen F-body with truck manifold turbo? As the title states, has anyone done a 2nd gen F-body with an LSX swap and truck manifold turbo setup?
I currently have a 2002 WS6 with a HSP turbo kit, but I cant get the idea of doing the same setup on an early 70s Firebird / Tran Am. I've spent some time searching the site, but all I see are NA swaps.
Is this idea even feasible? Thanks fellas for any info!!

Thanks for the picture wild! It appears from the picture that on 2nd gens you need to flip the manifolds forward and up? Is there not room to turn them forward and down facing like we do on the 4th gens?
I'm seriously thinking of selling my '02 for a '70 and doing that you've done with the LX / turbo combo, any other pictures or details about your build would be most appreciated!

No problem, drivers side manifold if it was forward and down would hit manual power steering box on drivers side if i remember. now if you removed the flanges and used v bands i think it could be done. I used dirty dingo slider mounts they worked great.
