Question Will the cast iron Turbo manifold fit an NA car??

I am thinking of going turbo on my 6 port vert. but want to figure out what manifold to go with. Has anyone done this? Don't say it can't be done if you have never tried yourself.

I am familiar with the spacer but the manifold I am talking about is the HKS one that I have seen pictures of not the factory one.

I'm guessing it will be close. some turbos will proably fit and some won't.

how long the engine will last with that turbo is a whole nother question

If you use a 89-91 TII lower intake manifold and mill it out to match the intake ports on the engine block, you can use the TII manifold without the spacers.

Sure, the HKS cast turbo manifold will fit.
No one said the turbo will fit on the manifold after you install it.
