I did some searching, both on this forum, and on www.turbomustangs.com, and I haven't found the info I need. Has anybody tried flipping truck manifolds on a GenIII/G-body swap? I have located a very sweet GN roller (cage, 9 inch, etc.), and I am trying to decide which route to take in the the powertrain build-up.

If I can make a set of truck manifolds work, then I might go the Gen III route. But, to be honest, I am leaning heavily towards a standard SBC build. I've located parts to be able to go either way, but I know that if I go 'old-school' way, I'll be stuck fabbing a set of headers.

Thanks for the help guys.

I have some SBC shorty headers I think will work, that was my plan. Im going with a 6.0 and efi for now, then a blower down the road if I keep the car....

the LS1 Firebird Manifolds worked in my 87ss... less the O2 sensor.. of course I had to make flanges to bolt to them...

Flipped for a turbo?

BLWN1 has it figured out. I'm talking about flipping them forward for a turbo set-up. The car is completly setup and dialed in chassis-wise, I'm just trying to figure out what to do about the power plant. I have sweet BBC that works very nice on the jug, but I really want to play with a turbo combination, whether it be a GEN III or SBC.


C'mon, I know somebody has to have tried it.

You might use a truck manifold on one side and a LS4 (FWD) manifold on the other. If memory serves you can get a very nicely matching upswing on both this way.

Planning to keep A/C?

i know a guy who has an iron block 402, and he used flipped truck manifolds for his twin turbos, worked perfectly and is putting nearly 1000whp

On a G body?

you cannot run truck manifolds pointing down. the drivers side sits on the steering box and the pass side sits halfway on the frame. you can point them up if you want, but i think that looks like ***. My combo is in my sig, and i have a post on here if you search my name.
