I don't know about the manifold interchange...
Here are some PSD engines to show ya what wreck is talking about. I know when I turbo mine, it's getting plumbed like a PSD. Might need a 2" body lift, as there is about 1/2" between the back of the head and the firewall...
I don't have to worry, as my 85 will stay N/A and become a modified N/A like wreck had when he was pre-turbo.
But my '65 will have a 2-3" body lift to fit on the 95 F150 frame, so clearance for me is a non-issue I think.
Ya know what, here's just a link to my whole gallery. They're all from google image searches, and I think I put good captions on there.

IF you jerk that 7.3 I know a guy who will take the block off your hands. And the stroke headers might work if you do as blueoval said and lift the body 2" so your engien aint 1/2" from the firewall lol.

The will not work. The Powerstroke block is longer front to back. I had a set one time and held them up to my motor to see how close they were. Not even a faint chance. A good 2" or so difference.

You can buy the flanges from Stans Headers, then use regular exhaust pipe as the "log" part of the manifold. Connect the flange to the log with some smaller sections of pipe. Use 2" exhaust pipe, you want to keep the pipe volume low so that you can build boost quick.
It's not so much important to consider good flow, like headers on a gas engine. Focus on a path of less resistance in the bends, but keep the path from the cylinder to the turbo as short as possible so the volume of exhaus gas in the pipe fills up quick and stays as hot as possible to spool that turbo.
After you have it built, have it coated in ceramic, or paint it with ceramic paint and then wrap it with header wrap that has been soaked in ceramic paint.
The idea of the ceramic paint is to keep the heat in the pipes.
Members here who have wrapped their up-pipes in header wrap have reported a 1 psi increase in boost.
Here's the link for stans header flanges. Header flanges for Ford, Mustang, Thunderbird, Pinto, Bronco, Cougar, Ranger, exhaust parts for home built do it yourself automotive, marine headers.
