Default C5 hot section

Looking to put my turboed 370 setup in my C5Z. It was in my F-body with the reverse manifold setup. What are my options for the manifold/header
in the C5?? Because it does not look like the reverse (truck)manifold is going to work. Here are the options I'm aware of:
1) one off custom fab manifolds
2) complete hot sections (Hinson/or other aftermarket manufactors)

I forgot to say its going to be a front mount. What I'm really looking for is a reverse manifold setup thats works(C6) or maybe a shorty header that can be flipped. Thats kind of the mind set on this project. If it matters this is a 04 ZO6. Just post, even if you think I may allready know the lead your giving. I'm interested in every avenue !!!!

Thanks in advance

Unless you are a real good fabricator I would go TTI or Hinson.I doen't know what size your turbo is but anything bigger then a 76 and you will have to bubble the hood.It might be cheaper to sell your stuff and start again.I know you doen't want to hear that.
Good luck.

Its a S88, so its pretty big. Hinson seems to make a nice complete kit but all I need is the manifolds or something along those lines.
