Ive been researching turboing my nnbs 5.3, I'm struggling to find alot of info on hot side piping. Ive seen the hotrod bulds with front mount and crossover in the front with flipped stock manifolds. Looking at my truck looks like that wouldnt work if i wanted to keep p/s and ac which i do.
Can you use nbs 800 aftermarket manifolds?
Any info is appreciated i really wanna go front mount with crossover in front if at all possible while retaining stock components.

 

Is there a reason you want the crossover in front of engine? On mine I have the stock manifold on driver side the crossover under the engine.

 

We can build you a set of hot pipes that will fit your truck. And you won't have to worry about flipping manifolds.
Are you looking for a single or twin kit?

 

You can't swap the manifolds on a truck acc system, they will hit the AC and the PS pump. If you want to run the crossover around the front of the motor, you would have to put an acc drive system from a fbody on it, or custom build manifolds for both sides of the motor. Easiest solution is to just use a set of hot pipes like this...

 

Nice fab work guys!!

 

Damn that is nice! I wish I could get something like that!

 

look into flipping the manifolds instead of swapping them. think this is the route im going.
