Default On 3 performance 67-69 Camaro 68-74 Nova Turbo? kit??

Any chance you guys are working on an affordable kit for the 67-69 Camaro/68-74 Nova? With all the LS swaps going in them I think would be a huge hit considering it fits both cars.
If ya make on for a ls swap Mustang please make one for us first gen guys!!

Thanks Ron

I totally agree. You make a kit for $1750 like the Mustang kit and tons of people will be dumping there sbc/bbc combination and going boosted ls.

I would definitely be interested as well. I think there is more interest, but a lot of interested people probably visit lateral-g.net and pro-touring.com more often than ls1tech.

People are always asking about turbo kits over there. Particularly a kit that would allow a/c to be kept on the car.

Yeah im totally surprised nobody has just on this type of product. I love One guys garage turbo set up but its pricey. Would be nice to have a few more options in case funds were not available. An a/c and non a/c kit would be sweet.

I thought about seeing if my on3 ls fox kit would fit in my 67 since it already has a 6.0 in it. If I'm bored one day I may see if hot side, at least will go on. But just by eyeballing it, looks like crossover won't fit. Might hit front smaller xmember. Only one way to find out I guess, though.

It's a stock 05 truck manifold,I had to put a small notch in it to clear the steering box though.

Yea I would for sure be interested. Although I have a firebird. And I'm fighting myself with wanting to put an ls in it. Plans are to go 455 stroker. But I can make the same kind of power and tq especially with a turbo 5.3 and way cheaper than building a 455 stroker. I'm all for a no e affordable turbo kit for the 1st gen fbody and 68-72 nova platform.

I do have a pair sitting in my garage. Did yours interfere with your steering box? I'm thinking of getting some c6 manifolds to keep my a/c.

I run a manual steering box, and I only needed to do some grinding on the manifold to make it clear.
I cut the flanges off both manifolds, and welded stainless v bands on, with short stubs of 2.5" ss tube in order to aim the outlets where I wanted them. The pass side required a fairly radical re-aiming to clear the cross member, but it was not really difficult.
The truck manifolds weld very easily.
