    I haven't looked into them that much, but I think most are rear mounts. Not a lot of room left in the engine bay.

    I guess it is a stupid question than. Sorry that I asked. I know it can be done. But I guess I might just be stupid and if it was all custom or if someone used a company's kit and modified it where need be. Guess I will just try to read more and figure it out on my own or get a fabrication shop involved . I was mainly seeing if a cut here and there on a kit would work (and maybe what it was started with) and go from there instead of paying a ton for something as I do not have benders etc

    Thanks for all the wonderful help

    Thanks for the ls1tech link. I do not visit that site so I had no idea. That is what I needed. THat helped me alot

    No one makes many kits for anything LS vs S10 that I know of. A few swap kits, but I haven't seen a real turbo kit at all for them. Depending on room under the hood like stated above, your best bet may be a mid mount or rear mount. A mid mount right under the cab wouldn't be terrible to build You could use the shorties you have and just run the piping from there. I don't do fab work at all, but I imagine someone could do it fairly easily if they knew what they were doing.
