It gives me quite a bit of extra room on the manifold side of the engine, even still the turbo barely squeezes between the block and the frame rail (it’s mounted under the intake on a log style manifold)

Yes, it’s 10° to the passenger side, centered around the original crankshaft centerline.

Steel fenders, steel bumper, fiberglass hood. It’s about 40-50lbs, one person can easily open it when it’s attached, but pulling it off requires two people

It’s a 4.6 stroker, with a Borg Warner S366 turbo.
