FB+FC=F-ME
S5 (89-91) TII has a nice, simple cast manifold that will fit all 13Bs.It may require some grinding if the 13B center plate has a boss on it like the FC non-turbo 13Bs do.No big deal.Its also a good flowing little manifold that doesnt suffer the cracking issues like the S4 manifolds do.Ive run 14psi through mine for years with no ill effects.
Youd probably be limited to a S5 turbo instead of a fancy aftermarket turbo,but thats still good for more boost than you should run through a 70s 13B anyways.About 10-11psi is the limit for the stock T18,but you could also go hybrid with the S5 turbo and convert it to a TO4 compressor.You be good for 14psi then but your N/A engine would likely scatter quickly from that much boost.

I woulden't put a FC manifold in a FB. FC manifolds place the turbo too far forward and damn near stuff the compressor housing into the radiator. FB's can have the turbo placed more rearward.
