What has everybody used on their ls engines? Im building a turbo 5.3. Ive got ls simple brackets on my 5.3 now and ive got to keep the ac! Im looking at the hooker #8512hkr manifold on the pass side. It looks like it will clear the ac from the pics. Has anybody used this? It looks like the truck manifold will be too high? Single turbo btw!
Thanks
John

I'm dying to see a response on this so I'm posting!

I'm looking into the same thing with a 6.0L LS built for boost, and I have to decide this week which side of my new oil pan I'm putting the oil return bung on! Thanks for whoever answers this!

Truck manifolds installed on the opposite sides with v-band flanges welded on - work better than any after market solution.

Falher Speed sells a nice American made stainless cast log that looks about identical to my fitment. If I was to do it again I would be buying one.

I suppose I could put an AC compressor on my Monte? Compact high mount on the DS like a Turbo Buick.

Modified stock manifolds are plenty good enough.

Flipped truck manifolds with stock flanges. I did mine before it was really common knowledge that you could just weld vbands onto them.
