Aftermarket turbo exhaust manifold?

ben said

Just asking but with the location of the turbo it doesnt look like it will fit before the front of the radiator, or am I confused on the distance.The reason I ask is I have built many custom headers and I want to build one for this application.thanks ben

What we (actually, Freddie) did, was to re-install the 170 motor, on its original mounts, with the head sitting on a 7/8"-tall, wooden spacer (on top of the block), back into the car, as a "mock-up" for the header build, since clearances were tight, some places. I'm afraid the camera angle is distorting the relationships in the picture,because we worked on turbo placement to ensure that we had sufficient room for the turbo and all the plumbing before we settled on a final configuration. I'll admit, it LOOKS like the turbo is too far forward,but trust me; it's not. It's about 4" behind the radiator support.

I'll have more (and,better) pictures, later....

I think they call that "The Parallax View" in photography.
