here goes.........if i swap a tII engine into my 84-se will i be able to use an after market exhaust manifold, or will it hit up against something due to the space inside the engine bay being different......

 

It just depends on how big the exhaust manifold is that you are using. I doubt you'd have much problems with it considering the fact that there is a ton of room to the side of the engine even in FB's.

 

You aren't swapping the turbo with it?

 

i doubt that i will take much more than the block itself due to the fact that i want to have HUGE!!!! hp outputs. so i dont think that the stock turbo and manifold are going to cut it.....im not just going to take the engine out of one car just to put it in another...thats just the begining.....
