The camaro ones wont work flipped upside down since they will hit the hood since they are ram horn style pre 98. 99-01 maybe will work flipped to the opposite head and dumping forward down depending on crossmember stuff. I doubt up will work like LS works but more for the way the manifolds dump being Y collector style not log style.

My plan was to take a front FWD log manifold run it pointing forward on the passenger head. Cut the flange and slight U bend off and assuming they weld nice like LS manifolds (which despite what everyone says are NOT cast steel, ive seen the metalurgy chart and they have carbon content of cast iron) and try to dump it up and forward like a GN. Then, take the stock drivers camaro header and go back and under the pan like a GN. The passenger tube would run paralell to the FWD manifold on the passenger side. Run a twin scroll housing turbo and feed each side of the engine into each scroll merging the tubes right before the flange.

I almost turboed my firebird with this plan then decided I wanted to keep AC and on those cars you almost cant get a downpipe back behind the K member with the full accessory package. Went blower instead.
