My car is going to paint next week. So I'll be installing the motor/trans and turbo setup once the paint is done. Then I can measure for radiator fitment. Your thinking of a 2000 year ls1 radiator?
I did not know it was not a standard run of the mill s475. Nice turbo, thx for the sale Yes, a 2000 LS1 radiator. They should all be the same for those model years.

Anyone running a front mount turbo setup on our x frame cars? I bought an f body hotside kit that places the turbo in front of the motor. Im thinking all I'll need to dois recess the ls1 radiator to make it fit.... waiting on the hotside to mock up. Just curious if this has been done. Thx

Did some test fitting last night. The motor fits great, just need to clearance the engine crossmember to clear the oil pan. The f body hot side does not fit in a x frame car. So I'll be flipping my exhaust manifolds and mounting the turbo on the right forward side of the engine bay.

Found a company called Roman Performance and Fabrication out of Illinois. They specialize in exhaust manifolds for turbo applications. 300-500 a set all custom made, magnifluxed, and with v-bands built into the manifold.
