Ok, here is the situation.
I have a 65 chevy II that I have been trying to figure out how to get a turbo hooked up.
Tonight I did some photo shop to show just how LITTLE room there is.
Now there are 3 options I have considered:
1: use the origional exhaust manifold and run an up pipe to the front to mount the turbo housing.
2: use the 292 - 3 bolt exhaust manifold and also run an up pipe to the front.
3: use the SPA manifold that already has the T4 flange on it and run the pipe foreward from there.
Options 1&2 are almost the same situation only using a diff. exhaust manifold.
Option 3 with the SPA (even though it's more expensive) has me thinking..... If I run a flange like this:

Or would it be better to run a T4 flange like this:

I have not seen a SPA done the way I'm thinking.
Anyone seen it done like this ?
FWIW: I will be moving/replacing the wiper fluid jar & figuring out a longer adjustment arm for the alternator to lower it a little for extra clearance for future intercooler.
Thanks,
Stu
