Truck headers.... Well I know a few of you turbo guys run 5.3, 6.0 ect. truck headers that have beened turned backwards for your turbo manifolds. Well I was wondering if anyone had any pics of these hederes on a motor thats out of the car. The reason for my strange request is my ls1 isnt going in an f-body and I would like to see where they sit on the motor and how far they stick out to help me get a better idea of how to place the turbo.
thanks in advance

Hope these help a little. Second set of pics are of my brothers set up (frcefed98).

The bottom one is a T74 I believe from Frcefed98...He's trying to get that thing figured out but I think that he'll get everything done soon...He did an awesome job at it and I believe that he said that he might make some more but you would need to ask him...
Thanks Eric, I was about to post those same pics
Turbo is a Garrett GT42-74, its physically huge. The turbo on the first set up is also a GT42, but I think its a 76mm version.

Non-egr ones are aesthetically more pleasing than egr ones. Don't think there is any performance gains between the 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 mani's. I believe the above post is right with trying to find 03' and newer manifolds. I have a 5.3 set off a 03' avalanche. Got mine on performancetrucks.net which is ls1tech's sister site. They pop up all the time for sale.
Good luck on your buildup. Use the SEARCH function to your advantage when it is working. There is TONS of information out there on these manifolds.

I found a pair for $100 bill but still not sure if they will fit in my app. I was wondering if any one has/could measure horizontaly from furthest tip to furthest tip. I want to make sure it will clear my frame rails

faced this direction the scroll will grow out and away from the motor.
here are some in car pics
this was before it was finished, so if anything dosnt look hooked up thats why
