Durango/Aspen are another possibility, and they can be had in Eagle port size.

why don't you just turbo a Magnum? I mean how much power do you want? Boost makes stupid power no matter the block.
LS is lighter w/high flowing factory heads and many will argue capable of much more abuse. There are many running 800+ HP with pretty much stock, high-mileage long blocks.
No doubt about that...and the same could be said with the LS vs. Gen 3 comparison too. But to Yuck's point... how much power do you need? If you're looking for sub 700hp, just about anything will work with a turbo.
I hear you. I'm not new to turbos. I built a turbo setup for the 440 in my 69 dart. I still have that engine and turbo setup that I could drop in my car, but I'd like something smaller and lighter. The low cost of the LS and available turbo exhaust is appealing to me. If I break it, I can simply pull another one from the yard for $350. I can't do that with my 440, which I believe is weaker than the LS anyways.

Looks like the passenger side Durango/Aspen manifolds are the same as trucks. The drivers side are unique however. Here is an eBay item number of a driver's side Durango. 321405360723 check it out for yourself.

I ran into the same issues with my Dart. I wound up building my own headers. I work at a dealer and scoped out or tried on every possible factory manifold.....no way. So I cut the flanges off of a $100 set of headers I had and ordered a 1 3/4 header kit from Summit ($120) along with some V-bands and went to work. This was the first set of headers I have ever done. It took me about two weeks on and off to do them. The turned out pretty good (I think). There is simply no room on the drivers side for any other option. Take a look at my photobucket album. Take your time and plan ahead. Dave http://s1083.photobucket.com/user/swinger440/slideshow/

^^^^^^ Do you have a Pic of those on the block?
i will, i have them on my mock up block on an engine stand. i plan on documenting this process a lot with pics. i think with mild mod to the headers, they will work well on my build. i am making a bracket to move my alt. up and out 1 inch.
an a/c compressor is most likely out of the question. my hot side will run to the front even with the oil pan rail under alt. and between oil filter adapter and frame then s up to turbo on pass. side up by radiator..
the driver side will run up pan rail where a/c comp. goes, then around belt, then 90* turn in front of balancer up to same turbo 
my hot side will be 2.25 stainless with a flex pipe on each bank . the downpipe will run parallel with valve cover between VP and inner fender turned down to follow trans. dip stick tube to under the car
