Hooker cast iron manifolds/flipped

Has anyone used these flipped forward and down for a turbo setup on (70) A-Body? Do they clear frame and steering on both sides?
Thanks

Well,ill answer my own question... I baught them and they hit the frame mounts and the frame on both sides. Along with the rag joint on the driver side. Didn't want to cut them or my frame because that would defeat the purpose of finding a bolt in manifold. So... i lost my *** on shipping them back $44 ! Sux but what else was i gonna do. So,my best fitting alternative is to fab up log style manifolds,they will fit the best, so that's what i'm gonna do!
