Default KB racing turbo Manifold on an S10??

just wondering if its possible that it can fit a 1998 s10. We are able to modify it if need be, im looking into running a T4 S475 with this manifold.
Im currently running a remote mount with an 5.3 on3 76mm setup which works great but im swapping to a 6.2L and want to switch to a traditional front mount setup.Name:  PhotoGrid_1421482901566_zpsocjacqjp.jpg

I've sold a few to S-10 guys. Not a clear answer on how it fit. One guy did make some changes and got it to fit, but not 100% sure what all was needed. Wasn't major surgery though. Good thing is its steel pipe, so easy to cut and weld.

if there was a good hot side available to the s10 community, they would sell like hot cakes. EVERYONE seems to be doing turbo LSX dimes lately and they all have to custom build their hot side. everyone without the fab skills hover around those threads like flies on ****. I would donate my truck to build a template hell, it's apart anyways lol.

how long would you need it?


as an FYI, the A/C has been completely removed from under my hood. I honestly don't see how someone could stuff a turbo in there and retain A/C anyways. My A/C has a handle and **** next to my left knee I'm also not sure that there are any factory manifolds that fit a LS converted pickup so I think it would take two home made manifolds for a clean job.

Haha! Well, everyone is going with those top mounted AC brackets now so I'd try and make it clear those. Wouldn't need it long if my schedule was clear. few days to a week.

Bumping an old thread... Any update on this? I see Kb racing makes a manifold thats supposed to fit g bodies, hopefully it'll work on a s10 since the suspension is almost identical.

ive put two sets up for sale and nobody bought them. cheap too. problem with s10s is the community has caviar taste and dirty gutter water budget.

suspension is same but frame rails are like 6" closer together on a s10. s10s are very tight engine bays. I had one with a single and w/a ic and full ac and everything and it was a puzzle to work on. everything had to come off in a certain order and you had to take all kinds of stuff apart just to get to simple things like the water pump belt. loved that truck though, it was a blast to drive
