The TC62's are about $800 each as well.

The flipped stock manis, look pretty bad, and you have to relocate the coils, or build a heat shields and run longer plug wires around the end of the motor. I'll get you a pic of the motor I have with them flipped. I can build you a set of logs like parishes pretty easy, the down pipes are a little more tricky, but like I told you, you have to do a lot of re-wiring on the drivers side, especially with that rats nest you have

Are the log manis any more or less efficient than the stock ones?

i would say a basic log like i have is not going to flow as well as the stock manifolds. i tried to use the stock manifolds and they didn't really lay out well for twins or even a single

Kyle, I found your pic as well as a few others in a different thread.





It honestly doesn't look as bad as you guys are making it out to be...unless I'm missing something (well one thing I guess I see is that the Tahoe pic doesn't have a turbo hanging off the driver's side manifold....). Obviously I would have to clean up my wiring, but that might be a good thing. My driver's side looks pretty nasty right now.

Here is all the pics I just took. BTW, you can't point them down unless you ditch the AC (which I don't think you would do, ) and switch to car acc. cuz the SP pump hits on the DS.

I saw this when I was looking for some chasis componets for my car. Supposedly they are going to have some LSX Cast turbo manifolds ready soon. They have made a few proto types. They are designing them for a Gen 1 camaros, but they might fit a truck. You might want to give them a call, Just thought I would post a pic.



These are the ones for regular SBC, they look pretty nice to me. I would assume that the mount will be located in roughly the same spot as the ones below. Because there is no way they ones above would fit in Gen 1 camaro. The ones below are for a Gen 1 camaro.

Those look NICE, but I bet they are not going to be cheap at all!
