Hybridz.org will have anything you need to know, I'd highly suggest looking there.

Stock manifolds turn outward and dump right into the frame rails. At least all the ones I have seen do that. A place called jags that run make a set of shorty headers. this is what most guys use, myself including. There are some block hugger shorty headers that will probably work.

hybridz is a crap site, all they focus on is if you missed a coma or a period in your sentences, like they are all high and mighty and every one else isnt. as for the manifolds i think the truck are fine, i am using custom headers on my 240z turned backwards for a single turbo set up.

Lol, too hard to use punctuation? I understand it's a bit strict, but that site has a lot of good info. And on the z32 lsx swap...good luck swapping it without cutting something up, it's been tried many different ways but so far it hasn't been done without some modifications...it is a bigger motor afterall, can't be too picky. If you want an easy swap, buy a 240 and have all the fun you want, if not, then nut up and go with it. I've never had a problem with the site or anyone on it, they keep the site easy to read and keep good info on it.

/end nut swinging rant for solid forum

on a z32??? i doubt it...if u use a fbody t56...with the shifter lining up with the shifter hole...u have to cut the firewall...or majorly beat the crap out of it...u either go fbody rear sump or autokraft oil pan...both this option does not require modding the crossmember...but if u use gto front sump then u have to mod crossmember...

if u use gto t56 then u can move the engine up 3 or so inches...maybe beat/cut the firewall a lil less...but if u look at the z32 tranny tunnel...it's tiny...and most def can't use fbody oil pan w/o modding crossmember...and the bellhousing on those damn t56 are huge compared to the z32...

u can try to beat the crap out of it..but i think in the end u'll find that it'll prob be for nothing...but good luck to u...
