truck manifolds

anybody try to fit the 6L truck manifolds into a third gen for a turbo project?

just wondering if they clear the steering box, frame rails, etc before i buy a set and find out they dont fit. It would be much easier to use these then to make custom turbo headers

turn them upside down, and i bet they will work. ive seen it done similar with a set of shorty headers.

i think you would have a tough time fitting a hood onto the car


after being sick for the past few days being able to search the internet, i think that they will fit with a steering box, it will be close either way i think. Im going to find a set of manifolds and try it in the next week or so.
