just double checked, the manifold fits perfect. the valley gaskets line up, bolts all line up etc. fully reversable.

Where did you put the p/s pump?

What is the clearance like for the thermo stat housing + pipe?

How will you hose it?

Got more pics?

i wsa goingto use the ecotec PS mounting plate but it bolts to the block and the buick block doesn't have a provision for it so i'll fabricate a custom bracket. looks fairly simple really. bolt it to the head.

thermostat housing is now at the front so i could just fit a s2 cooling system and that fixes that problem. will have to sort something forthe cooling lines that fit into the bottom of the manifold (as they are now at the back) but i can't see that being to difficult.

mounting the alternator where most people have the aircon pump, another custom bracket.

Interesting idea. What about the nice plastic manifolds in the US that are on this motor in EAST/WEST engine setups, they have a great runner length etc.
