pic of ls1 turbo with stock manifolds

grabbed this pic of a guy with a 6.0l LQ4/9 in an A body. good photo of using the stock manifolds flipped upside down. you can see he also had to flip the coils and run longer plug wires

yeah the reason i posted this is that to run the truck manifolds on a A or G body, you have to point them up. after looking at it, it downt look bad at all, especially if your on a budget.

do you think he will ever have trouble with that coolant hose being so close to the turbo?

what year and series truck do you guys usually pull these 6.0 motors out of? How do you like them?
