[Crzyrdnk]

Hey guys im brand new to this site!
And ive been doing some searching and havnt found the info that I need so i figured id just ask.
Im building a 1983 regal and swapping in a 5.3 ls motor.
I already have the 5.3 and i know pretty much exactly what im goin to do in the way of supporting mods the plan is making it a turbo car and im wondering if anyone knows if this kit will fit into a gbody engine bay?

ive been doing some research and i cant see why it wouldnt fit. the Gbody Engine bay is larger than the F body and i cant see anything that would interfere with the installation

The crossmember will probably be your biggest hurdle.

Try it out if you think it will work. If it doesn't work I'm sure you could sell it for a small loss, or just modify it.

And if it works, post it up here and help a lot of folks out!

That kit comes with the cold side and a down pipe. I'm willing to bet neither of those have any chance of fitting

If I were you I'd try to buy the hot side only.
