This thing has straight beef castings. Super thick! The 1st cylinder is in the turbo flange area. You can bearly see it in this picture.
Got some time today to put a few hours of work into the Nash. Had to do some minor grinding to the ac compressor to get it to fit the notch I made in the frame.
Belt lines up and has plenty of clearance for my turbo drain.

Installed the new trick turbo manifold
mocked up the v band angle for the wastegate to give maximum clearance for the control arms
Shame they are sold out, my buddy was talking about just flipping the stockers and welding them since most of the mani's melt stuff
Nice progress and cool to see you are keeping AC.
FYI you are probably already far enough but a GMT360 (V8 trailblazer/rainier) ac compressor fits a bit better than the truck one. The ports are in a better place for tight clearance and the compressor is a bit smaller. If you have a hard time clearing the frame with the hoses it's a good backup option.

I live in the middle of the desert and this is a t top car so I really really wanted to keep the AC and have boost. I do remember hearing about the TB compressor being a bit smaller but I though they are variable displacement pump and they would burn up running behind the rest of the gbody ac parts. The truck compressor are fixed displacement like the oem g body ones. My backup option was the lowmount dirty dingo sanden setup or the TB.
