Why use truck manifolds?

the main reason is the way they position the outlets, clears the steering shaft on the fbody
the vette manafolds flow a little better, so if you can fit them in you rx7 it would probably work best if you use them
when are you going to do this, are you doing it yourself? you have a welder, id be willing to help you if needed.

I may take you up on the help part. I've got a welder/with gas but haven't really used it for anything yet.

From looking at pics that's kinda what I figured. I don't know if it would be worth trying the vette manifolds and have them not fit. So I'll probably just find some stockers.

have you figured out what turbo you are going to use yet?

Thank you. Glad somebody else noticed this post too. Long tubes and a rear mount are basically useless. You will still see boost just not nearly as much and will take alot longer to spool. If going for looks go with some Hooker super Comp coated shorties. Best of both worlds.

what i dont get is the people who want a/c (i live in florida) and have above average welding skills to made a grade A home kit and dont take the extra day or two to fab up a nice manifold for the passenger side to route around the compressor and use a truck manifold on the drivers side. how come no one does this?

I don't have an fbody so I don't know for sure but I would assume with most cars the steering column and supporting units are mounted on the drivers side.

blacksi,
You might want to make a post on the local boards to see if anyone has some stock manifolds to try out on your car. With it being a transplant you might find that some off a Vette will work better than a F cars. Or even some off a GTO may be a good choice. Either ones will support more power than your looking to make.
