Go with a rear mount it will be way easier and if you look at sts videos on youyube there isnt any turbo lag.

There is still some lag, it may not be a lot but there is always some. As Eric knows, the main failure of the rearmount and the 4.7L is oil delivery. We have discussed several that have gone bad and that always seems to be the case.

Eric, it will be sick man. Can't wait to see it finished.

Here is just an idea, Take an exhaust mannifold to a shop with either a flow jet, CNC laser, or even a CNC mill, and have them take and make one out of steel that matches up to your stock manifold. If you can find the blueprints for the manifolds, or if they have a CMM (coridnate measuring machine), it shouldnt take any thing to make it.
