I'll give this a bump out of curiosity, I've been looking at those also for an A body application...not trying to hijack, just wondering what they might fit?

Where are these from? A measurement from the flange at the head out to the outside of the tube would be a good start in seeing if they fit.
Magnum engine manifolds work on an A-body when swapped side/side (down and forward exit). Thats what I did. I did have to change the stock manual steering coupler to a u-joint style but that's a simple fix.

Iron manifolds have been used many times on LSX turbos over 1,000 hp. IMHO unless it's really important, and you understand and accept the bad things about tube headers (will only last 1-2 years, huge increase in underhood temperature, loses much heat energy that the turbine will never see, slower to spool up) in exchange for better exhaust flow. I had the factory iron manifolds on my Toyota turbo to 520 hp (very common), using a SPA (Brazil?) aftermarket cast iron manifold with Swain coating for the new 700 hp engine this year.
