Question swapping '99 van engine into L99 SD

Hi

I just bought a '99 van engine minus the turbo to replace my tired, dusted engine.

What needs to be swapped over from the old engine to make this work? I have heard that some brackets may be different and that the right exhaust manifold is different in the van.

I will be using my own hpop and recent injectors for this new engine.

thanks

That's pretty much it...Exhaust manifolds and up pipes, pedestal and turbo, oil cooler, spyder and possibly plenums if Early.

hi

i will be using my own turbo/pedestal. this is such a great opportunity to do up pipes so will do that as well.

can the van manifolds be used? i hate the thought of a broken bolt taking out the old ones.

Exhaust manifolds?

They go the wrong direction unfortunately.

They bolt on below the "log" where as the truck versions bolt above, I have a pic somewhere I will try to find.

Ive had the beat luck remiving manifolds when I cut the bolt between the head and the manifold
There is an opening there ... on the ines without openings try traditional method or grind off the bolt head

The manifold bolts usually seize to the manifold not in the head
