Truck ones will not fit without moddifying, I made my headers. I know there is guy on here with manifolds on his (firebird) but he tried like 4 sets so doesnt remember.

Yea no exact set of manifolds works on a tirdgen. Its better to just build your own IMHO.

I used one truck manifold and one f-body manifold, cut the ends off and welded v-band flanges to them. Also had to notch the k-member just a bit, and obviously relocate the alternator.

To give you an idea this is how I did mine...All f-body accesories stayed in place.
I made the flanges on a CNC and just bought a jegs weld up 1 3/4 kit for 90 bucks, then welded away!

I've heard if you cut the flange off and do V-bands the truck ones will work? And it will have a tubular Kmember.
