The manifolds wont, and I doubt the rest would fit since it wasnt designed for such a compact area.

Yeah, it's designed to work with a carburated setup on a chevy small block. I don't know if it'd work on something like the Accel DFI or anything like that, but there's no way I could see it working on any newer GM motor.

Actually I believe that one of their setups is with an Accel DFI.

Compression ratio sounds about right. I'd stay between 8.5:1 and 9:1 just cause i think 9.5:1 would be kinda getting a little high if you were wanting to run alot of boost. You can get the CR either by the pistons or the heads you run.

You should probably look at getting someone to build a good SBC for ya. There's plenty of experts that can help you. FastTimes, Duttweiler, etc., or even some of our sponsor's here.

Innovative Turbo bought a set of molds from Banks and will sell you a "tuner" kit (manifolds, turbo's, wastegates, and some other parts for less than the Banks kit.

Of course you can get custom headers made. But then there's absolutely no need for anything from Banks.

Have you already got the turbo's? If not than it'd probably be cheaper to go with a kit that already has everything in it and will fit than having to custom make one, unless you've got the resources available to fab up your own kit.

old school 350 with a good bottom and a banls would be nice. the holley stealth ram makes good power with TT setups.

So does anyone know if the banks manifolds definately will not fit under the hood of a 93+ Fbody? I'm wondering just about the hood closing, without modifications? Are the hood clearances of the older Fbodys that much more than the newer 93+? I know that the battery and ABS module would have to be moved/deleted. I'm still undecided on engine choice, but this would be one clean setup with a 427ci world aluminum block (which is made of a stronger material then a C5R block and costs 1/2 as much) and holley stealth ram or some other EFI intake.

well according tothe guy i talked to at banks the kit will not fit, but that is for a third gen camaro. i figure it would be about the same for a 4th gen. the kit will fit on lt1 blocks. he told me i would need at least a 2 inch cowl hood. im not sure if it would be the same for your car but it might be. you could just go to the banks site and email them and ask them that question. but i think that im going to keep my current set-up and get some custom stuff made for the ls1.
