360 LA turbo exhaust question

Morning,


I'm currently putting a turbo on my 360 LA that is in my 88 Jeep Wrangler. The engine always had block huggers that I hated! They cause high under hood temps while out in the sand and on the trails. Plus, they always leak and crack.


So, I would like to keep it simple and run stock exhaust manifolds. The stock truck manifolds with the center dumps look like they would work great. I know they are small at the collector area....my questions is, could I cut the donut seal off and bore out the center a bit??


I cannot run magnum style manifolds flipped due to the power steering pump and engine mounts. I cannot run them normal as the pas. side would hit the firewall.

I have thought about building log style manifolds....but I'm not trying to get real crazy and spend time where it is not needed. I plan to only run 4 psi as this engine is not built for boost. I'll build another engine on the side and swap it over in time.

anyone have ideas???? I'd gladly give up power for cooler underhood temps

Thanks,

Kirk
