well guys, after looking at it and thinking about it, i have to redo my bracket. Because, i have it bolted to the motor AND the frame....so, i have to make it one or the other. Frame is looking like it will be easier since i have that perfect little sway bar mount to use, and a set of flex pipes....

Where are you gonna put the O2 sensors?

I just got my C4 manifolds and they have a spot in the middle of the middle ports... I will snap a pic when my batteries charge :P

you know what i noticed the older vette motors like the 1st TPI motors dont come with cast manifolds they come made like a block hugger header, the manifold you posted above looks to be off a newer vette but they are CAST for sure. and on the placement of the o2 in the middle of the ports probably wouldnt work right as they need to be at closest in the collectors.


and for my wideband off the FAST i have them about 20-22 inches away.

well guys, got the driver side completely welded up. I need to get some slimmer fans though, because my turbo hits the fan a little. I also need to get my oil cooler deleted this week so i can get the welder back to my friend haha.

well guys, lookie here, MORE progress


not bad considering i had a doctors appointment today, and it was quite a PITA to get everything to fit JUST right.

so, all thats left, is getting the driver side into the merge pipe, shouldnt be too bad, ive made it this far afterall haha.

I have seen kits where drain lines are horizontal and they seem to still drain. As long as you are better than horizontal (parallel to the ground), then you should be fine.
