Nate,
With the newer driver side manifold flipped down and forward, are you still able to run the power steering pump and alternator in the stock locations?

Looks good! What did you do for a cross member? I assume you built one?

Wow, so you have power steering it appears. Is it a tight fit on the drivers side for the exhaust with that accessory setup? What accessory bracket and pulleys are those specifically?

Clearance isn't bad. Corvette bracket,alt,ps reservoir,and pulley. Ps pump is a generic type 2 with a plumbing elbow pressed in it.

man this is inspiring. your car is beautiful. we have a 72 and i plan to do a very similar setup. i kinda had my mind setup on a TCI subframe/torque arm setup, but after seeing yours kinda makes me wanna stay somewhat simple. do you have any pics of the intercooler fitment? thats a concern for me.

Also, any idea on LSA (newer CTS-v) manifold fitment? we have a set, they appear to tuck more (i.e. tighter bend radius)

Beautiful car Nate. Would love to see it in person. There is a group of us going to RockFalls on 4-27 if you want to lead a pack of G8's.

Looks good man, those top two pics remind me of the kit i built for my GTO a couple years ago, reminded me of the hell, lol. Although, i always like the wastegate right next to the turbo, looks good man.
