The car in my sig is my only car atm. As you see it is lsx swapped and I planned on doing a single turbo front mount on it over the winter. I plan on using the car souly for the pure joy of having a 800whp car. I have already put a down deposit on a single turbo front manifold kit made for a fourth gen along with the turbo. I expected to have some fitment issues here and there with maybe too much or not enough piping which is fine. However, after doing a little research I realize that the truck manifolds alone have fitment issued in a third gen. The passenger side is said to barely rub the sub frame while the driver side hits the power steering box. Here is where the dilemma is...

I can either work out these issues by cutting the flanges off and rewelding them to fit somehow or just going with turbo headers which i was hoping I wouldn't have to do.

OR

Keep the third gen how it is for a while and buy a fourth gen 98-02 camaro or trans am and not having any fitment issues. But I really dread on having car payments ( I can afford it, I choose to not have them though).

This is where I'm stuck. Im not looking to hear I should of researched more I just want opinions on what I should do. Is it worth the trouble of messing with the kit in my third gen(which is what i want) or saving the headache and having the car done in a couple of weeks.

He for sure is one of my more favorite third gens. Very much devotion went into that car!
However I don't believe he got to test fitting the manifolds in the car. He ended up with a complete hotside prebuilt for a lsx third gen. The manifolds do look good though. Basically straight which is what I want to shoot for

That car is amazing. Your car looks to be pretty sweet, can you post up some more pics of it?

Of course!
Unfortunately these are pictures from a year or so ago. A couple months ago someone pulled a hit and run on the hood and front bumper while at work.

Anyways, I'll try to grab some pictures tomorrow of the space I have to work with on each side.
