Found the part number....... It's going to cost me $400cnd for that elbow. I think I can fab something that will work for far less.

No worries, I'm still trying to get use to paying 45% more for things my self. A year a go it would have been no big deal at 10%.

What's the part number...if I don't like how my motor runs with the fresh HX35, then I will be upgrading.

3927862 is the number. It's for a hx40 for you need an adapter from he351 to hx40, they are about an inch long so no big deal when you are saving that kind of room.
 
Another challenge with the He351cw is the Wastegate actuator. It's connected to the compressor cover and the is clocked in a way that will not work with the 2nd Gen manifold. There are two options make it a spring gate so exhaust drive pressure opens it or modify the acctuator and make a mount to attach it. I'm going to try and retain the acctuator as I think using exhaust drive pressure has some draw backs.
 
Run a small spacer, that my plan. A lot of guy who compound do it

Yep the hx40/he351 adapter. Basically just have two v bands right side by side. Do you have two of these elbows? If you do I would be interested in one.
 
I only have one sorry... The spacer I'm talking about to space out the turbo from the manifold to retain the wg actuator

Oh, yeah I want to rotate the the compressor cover to keep the outlet low. I have a few ideas in mind.
 
This has me thinking about my setup. If I go ahead with my existing turbo (rebuilt HX35), and then decide to upgrade after my install is complete, am I going to have to make modification to the exhaust system that I will have just have made? If so...I may just go ahead with a turbo upgrade now so that I can do the exhaust once.

Yes you will, downpipe flange is totally different. The intercooler pipe is as well.
 
I have a 31"x12"x3" cx racing bar and plate cooler. Plumbing is undecided till I get it in the truck.
 
I am hesitant to add another complexity into my plan, as I really want to get this conversion done, will give some more thought. If i change it put later, the worst case is the exhaust shop will need to redo the down pipe.

I'll have to find a picture I ran a he-341 a small piece of angle to move the actuator with yhe rotation. It fit well with the second Gen motor in my 98 dodge

I paid 600 for mine but it's a brand new turbo out of the box. Think my buddy paid 400 for his rebuilt he351

You got a brand new turbo for $600? That seems like a good deal to me. Where did you pick yours up from?
 
I got mine for $300cnd so $200usd plan to get it rebuilt. No issues with it would just feel better.
