how some of us guys mounted our turbo? if we had turbos we'd probably mount them in front of the engine if its a V6 or where the battery and/or the air clearner is if its a v8.

The FFF kit is NOT year specific. If you buy an LT1 kit, it will fit all LT1 F-Bodies. If you buy an LS1 kit, it will fit all LS1 F-Bodies. If you buy a 3800SII kit, it will fit all 3800SII F-Bodies.

...and that's the way it is, mang.
