There are several exhaust manifolds available for A body LS mods; check JEGS, Summit, eBay or other venders. Exhaust manifold fitment may depend on engine placement. The LS can be moved for and aft utilizing sliding engine mounts to accommodate transmission or oil pan choices.

Thanks for the help I didn't know that the motor could be moved slightly, my situation is that it's been converted from auto to 5 speed and z bar in way of exhaust  so I'm thinking hydraulic clutch conversion ro elemanate that to make clearance for new ls exhaust manifold.
