You can flip the manifolds, but you will have to make some connection pipes to fit it up. I do not like the flipping manifold, it puts the passenger side manifold really close the to water tank. V8 6-8 psi with tune all day long.
If you want a kit for the 6 cylinder you could always drop the truck off.
And for the V8 we have you covered already.

I am still trying to find a 5.3 for my price range. I am slowly but surley gathering parts for the swap. I was just throwing around some ideas for a turbo maybe. Was planning on it for the V6 but it may be a possibility for the V8 also. The running on one bank didn't seem like a good idea to me either, but don't know much about FI. I have an understanding how FI works but never messed with it.

either way you go keep the 4.3 and turbo or 5.3 and turbo I'm sure Trick can take care of you. Im heading to the Track later today for some new times with smaller lighter wheels and some 4wd launching! I'd better bring a helmet cause I think I'll be getting much better times!
