[QUOTE="me2, post: 339992, member: 3825"] I did more test fitting to see if I could achieve a better engine package size and fit. In this round I pretended that I was making my own manifold and mounted the HE351 as if there was a manifold with a side port between cylinders 2 and 3. This positioning puts the turbocharger about an inch above the lowered valve cover, meaning there is about 2 inches between it and the hood. If I made my own narrow manifold, I could shave about 4 inches off the width of the engine package and have even better pipe routes to boot. [ATTACH=full]87016[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]87017[/ATTACH] I think this is a much nicer package. I think I am going to make my own exhaust manifold from 2 x 2 x 3/16" square tubing. It will be placed directly on the port plates and have internal diverters to ensure smooth blending of the exhaust flow from each of the cylinders. It won't be as good flow wise as a custom, round pipe manifold, but it should still work well and it will fit my application much better than anything I can find to buy. The custom manifold will also allow me to raise the rear turbo about an inch. FYI, the 6.7 manifold has 1.5" round ports. I'm also probably going to cut off the compressor outlet on the S475 and TIG on an aluminum elbow. I was asked why I have the rear turbo so high. The answer is that the starter needs to go beneath it. "But on other conversions the starter is much lower than that." I know. Because I'm using the starter ring gear and most of the flex plate from the Ford application and the 6R140 bellhousing has a slight cut out for the starter at about 2:45 when viewed from the rear, it has to go where the starter ring and bellhousing place it. That being tucked up tight to the block underneath the rear turbo. I need parts water cut to build the manifold. I also need a bunch of parts water cut for the transmission adapter. I'm hunkering down to do a whole bunch of CAD work. FWIW, if I had the resources, I'd have a CNC plasma table. I was going to build one before I started this project but stopped when I realized that I didn't have room to store it. Are you guys sick of this stuff yet ? [/QUOTE]
