looking for pics of LSx swap with stock exhaust manifolds

...im looking for pics of any LSx swap using cast exhaust manifolds...
and what manifolds were they?
close ups showing framrail clearance and oil pan area would be a big help!


thanks very much, Keith

Re: looking for pics of LSx swap with stock exhaust manifolds

not so great in the asthetics dept. but it got the job done in the HP dept.

im gonna take my time and do hopefully alot nicer of a job on the LQ4 swap/turbo setup,, and get some paint and better wheels/tires on it.
its a long process tho as you know.

Re: looking for pics of LSx swap with stock exhaust manifolds

LOL... I bet the same as me.... (look at my sig)

I am also using 02 trans am manifolds, I have stock k-member and the O2 driver side sensor wouldn't work where they are on the manifold, I plugged and put the o2 in the downpipe, (duels)

Re: looking for pics of LSx swap with stock exhaust manifolds

It probably goes without saying around here, but if going with stock manifolds, grab the 01+ camaro/firebird ones as they were redesigned and flow better than the earlier f-body models.

I checked out few of your threads but couldnt find what I was looking for.

Specifically what did u use to cap off the 02 bungs in the manifolds.

would like to see pic of how you extended the manifolds to your y-pipe and where you rewelded your 02 bungs back

Thanks

Re: looking for pics of LSx swap with stock exhaust manifolds

get one of these, weld the bung into the y-pipe, and use the plug in the manifold:
