OK, so your saying there are 1000's of 4200 installs w/a 4200 in Camaros & Novas?
I did not see them for what all needs to be done, how far forward or aft the engine needs to be located. Or in general, where to position a 4200 engine into an engine bay, have not seen references.

The system needs a fuel pressure reg and a return line with an EFI pump.

I have ran 10 PSI no problem, the I5 (3500/3700 colorado) guys have run 30 psi.

Yes 95% of the turbo installs are using a U up pipe and the stock exhaust manifold.

If not, how much is a turbo exhaust manifold? < not required unless your going after huge power.

Are there engine mounts for these 4200 engine installs like they have for LS engines to fit in Camaros, Chevelles Novas etc?

Maybe when there is a lot of aftermarket support for these items needed to install 4200 engines, there would be a lot more installs.

I do not know all the details of Leos 4200, but I do not think it is stock internals?

Don't get me wrong about the 4200 engine, it is a great platform to start with.
It is not just a bolt in deal & away you go.
The LS platform is already figured out & the aftermarket support is there for almost any car/truck install new or old & different manufactures, like installing LS engines into Ford Mustangs & others.

The 1995-96 Toyota Supra engines inline 6's are a great engine also.
I have read you can bolt on parts, turbos, camshafts, injectors etc, on a stock longblock & they can stay together making 800 RWHP. Probably more now, have not followed them recently, just remember this statement about 10-15 years ago.

What can a 4200 engine handle w/stock internals?
