WOW great start!! I am just about to do this. What motor mount plates did you use? Also it looks like you are trying to make the exhaust manifolds work facing down instead of up. I thought on the Nova/Camaro it wouldn't work because of hitting the control arm? It looked like in one pic you cut off the flange? What did you do? Looks good

I am using neutral position trans dapt plates. The manifolds are an ls4 on the passenger side with a truck manifold on the drivers side. The truck manifold flange needs to be angle milled at 6° to tuck it in enough to clear the rear steering box. Both manifolds will be v banded also for more room.

The transdapt plates bolt pattern sucked I had to elongate one of the bottom holes on each side for them to bolt to the block nicely.

Thanks guys, I plan to run e85 and low boost this season then step it up next year with an a2w under the dash. All I plan to do is flip the tb elbow and run the charge pipe around it and into the firewall. Im in Coon rapids Mn.
