Chrisman has built and designed a TTV8, but with no AC. I believe there are 1 or 2 SC400 single turbos driving around anonomously somewhere, and the MECtech TT was done with the turbos on the bottom. Lextreme built a TTV8 on a LS400 with the turbos on the bottom, a SuperCharged Vortech LS400, and a Single Turbo LS400, but no SC yet. Mine are up top, so it takes a little more in planning and such to get this done. It will be a One of a kind.
And for all you guys that are wondering, You Do Not Have To Pull The Engine To Replace The Old Exhaust Manifolds. But they are a b#tch to remove. To make it easier, loosen the engine mounts, and raise the engine a little from the bottom. Getting by that steering column is a little tight.
