If it were me I would take the time to build my own with reverse truck manifolds or buy a kit based off that. Those log manifolds dont look all that enticing to me. The idea of a "turbo kit" is kind of funny when you think about.
I'm not worried about room at all. That thing has a huge engine bay. I would like the turbo to sit right about where the intake filter is. I see some guys having their turbo sit in front of the motor but the motor is sitting a bit more forward than the 350 was and I would like to keep the truck accessories. The truck doesn't have a/c so don't have to worry about that. Have to find a good intercooler that'll fit behind my grille. The truck is lowered and im still running the stock pan. I may go with an fbody pan. I gotta see where the crossover pipe would go too. I'm running 2.5 dual flowmaster exhaust...I gotta see how that's going to work too. Just so many things to think about.
