Not trying to hack your thread just giving info on my just completed swap.

Thanks for the input. I don't think it is going to affect me because I am running the manifolds flipped upside down for a single turbo setup. I just thought I had heard truck manifolds worked with the ECE mounts. They were definitely close and i believe they could be made to work with a bit of grinding. Seems like a pain though.
