Looking through e bay for six cylinder chevy exhaust,I noticed that there are tractor exhaust manifolds listed with the discharge at a horizontal away from the block. Is this manifold compatible with the late model six?.It looks like a good spot for a turbo.Speed secret?

Do you have a picture? It sounds interesting.

Typically the stock exhaust manifold does not flow all that well, put a 90 degree bend in it, = worse flow.

Still, a log type exhaust manifold for a turbo works OK, it's just not the best to get the most power out of a turbo set-up.

Some of the older JD combines used a Chev 292. I don't think a tractor manifold would work, but that's just a guess. Joe

I bought my 292 exhaust manifold for $120 on ebay. It was listed as a Massey Ferguson tractor 292 exhaust. It's identical to the chevy 292 found on a truck/car. If you check my blown 250 thread you'll see pics of it and my gloating about the ebay deal.
