I'm looking to collect as much data as possible, and organize it all into one thread. I've searched endlessly and I've gathered a decent amount of information (and pictures) about which manifolds will work in various front mount setups. What I'm trying to gather is which manifolds will fit in various orientations (forward-facing, up, down, rear-facing) in respect to shock tower interference and k-member clearance in a 4th gen F body.

What I've seen so far:

Truck manifolds facing forward and down - requires removing (or relocating and fabricating) a/c, and alternator moved to the top.

Down and rear-facing C6 / forward and down-facing truck manifold hybrid - keeps a/c, requires turbo k for feed on pass. side and alternator moved to the top.

Now on to the questions:

- Will the C6 manifold fit in any direction on the driver's side? With or without turbo k? Mainly looking for forward-down, or rear-down to mimic the passenger side.

- Can the C6 manifold on the passenger side be mounted in any direction other than rear-down?

- Do any manifolds clear the shock towers when facing forward-up?

- Do truck manifolds clear facing standard (rear-down) with a turbo k?

I'm looking for all possibilities. My OCD tendencies require that both sides are uniform (planning for small twins) and keeping a/c is a requirement. If I can't accomplish this, I will keep the car N/A. Thanks in advance for any input, it is greatly appreciated.

Look into a twin kit that doesn't use stock manifolds. There are many options.

I've checked out a few of them. Most look like very nice pieces, but that will be a last resort if I can't find a way to make the much cheaper factory manifolds work.

Well, what I'm currently working on might just be exactly what you're looking for. Here's a couple of teaser pics for you.

Nice! I like the stealth approach. Do you have a build thread? I am very interested in seeing how your setup works out. Very cool so far!

What size turbos you got there?

Thanks! No, I don't have a build thread for it. I was just going to replace one of my damage t3/t4 turbos, but one thing led to another...and another, next thing I know...I was pretty much making a whole new kit. Lol!

Turbonetics T4 ball-bearing, 66mm compressor wheel with e-cover, 65mm turbine wheel with .68a/r housing.

Those will get it done.

I'm hoping to hit the 1000rwhp mark. FYI, I forgot to mention that I'm using a set of 2010 camaro exhaust manifolds.

A pair of 6265's could see that number. You will have no trouble.

new to the site. Stumbled onto ur pics and setup. Did u ever finish it ? If so pics installed would be great. Im thinking of the same setup for my 01 Z28.
thanku.

There was another gent (INTIMID8?) that had a similar setup as that one. Ran 9's with a M6 trans. Convertible street car. I think he sold it some time back and I haven't seen him post in quite some time, at least not here. I used to have pictures from his setup but I've misplaced them. I think he was running 58's. In my efforts to see if I could replicate it, I couldn't get my GT35's to fit between the BMR turbo K member and the block. I *think* you'd have to opt for a small footprint turbo.

That is the info i needed. Thanku much.
was fixn to by 35s. I just need to no how small i can get away with with my lq4. Street cruiser with AC. B happy with bout 700hp motr.
