so.... passenger side works nicely... drivers side was a waste of ------- money. Can't go forward so.... Stock manifold exiting normally, cross over under tranny/bellhousing area and back up. For ---- sakes. what a **** off.

I'm about to murder myself. But instead of making the build all bastardized. I have another trick. Stay tuned.

since this is an LSx engine, why not use flipped truck manifolds like a lot of the home made turbo LSx guys are running?

thats what I'm going with now. BUT I'm planning for a cleaner install. I'll get pics in a little bit.

I'm a royal failure currently though. All of my ideas half work. 2 drivers side mani's didn't work the way I wanted so I am doing flipped with my own rendition.

it sure is. The more and more I use it, the more and more I prove to the local haters that the welder isn't garbage. I have welded with Miller and Lincoln TIGs(after all, thats all we have at the shop as far as brands) and you can totally tell the difference, they are easier to setup, more precise and overall do a better weld BUT this Smiley works just fine for the price. Later on I'll upgrade.

My work area, I complain about it at times but really I shouldn't haha. Its insulated but not heated. On the -35 days I just stay inside. My parents let me use the garage in the winter time when the car is apart so its all good.
