This thread is dedicated to Vulcan Turbo M62 manifold. Due to the cluttered nature of the last thread I am starting this one. Please keep ALL off topic remarks out. If you are or plan to build one please start your own thread.
Progress:
Brian at Vulcan Turbo is in charge of this project. He drove to Des Moines on July 6th and picked up my 02 z24 with the m45 kit installed on it to take back to Vulcan turbo in Milwaukee Wisconsin. My M62 from a Ion Redline, and my 03-05 2.2 jbody ecotec throttle body are already shipped out to Vulcan turbo for design, mock up, and fabrication. Jared Methe's cousin has made and shipped flanges to Vulcan. The flanges have arrived and Brian has made a manifold and bolted the supercharger to it on the car. He has also test fitted the belt and routing. You do not need the idler pulley from the m45 kit although mine already has it so it was fitted with it. If you use the m45 kit idler pulley there is a good chance you will be able to use the same belt the m45 kit uses. Of course this depends on the size of pulley you are running. My m45 had the belt I was using for a 2.5 inch pulley on it. This belt fits well with the aftermarket 2.9" pulley on my M62. Stock pulley for the M62 is about a 3.3".
This is being designed for use with a heat exchanger. Keeping the Intake Air Temps down is being focused on. When I get my car back it will have the heat exchanger setup on it. The heat exchanger being used is a brand new aftermarket unit not a junkyard one from another car that came with one stock.
Pics of the progress so far:

My car during disassemble
Getting a rough idea how it fits
Same thing just a different angle
Top secret progress pics lol
Just showing that the hood closes no problem
Hood prop now clears the sc
Belt fits with NO issues. It is being used with the M45 idler, however CAN run without it. (unknown belt length)
What you will need to purchase:
M62 supercharger from an Ion Redline, Cobalt SS/SC, or 03-05 jbody GMPP sc kit
03-05 2.2 ecotec throttle body from a jbody only
Fuel Injectors and tuning
2 bar map sensor
Maybe the m45 kit PCV baffle??
What will be included in the kit:
This depends on which kit you purchase.
Manifold only = manifold only
Manifold plus heat exchanger setup =
Manifold, heat exchanger, pump, hose, instructions, coolant reservoir tank, and Im sure more that I can't think of now
Please keep in mind these are rough lists and might change as this project is still under construction now.
Price:
See the below link. I have nothing to do with the price. Anyone with pricing related ?s should PM Vulcan Turbo. As far as I know these prices are not set in stone as this project is not completed and we are hoping more buyers come forward soon.

If anyone would like to stop by the Vulcan Turbo and see this in person that is fine with me. You will need contact Brian to set up a time though.

Damnit Wade no whole pics! lol looks awesome man, glad this finally happened. Im sure this will make people think twice about ditching the sc for a turbo setup!
I love the progress pics. They show ALOT of detail.

I don't know about you guys, but I wouldn't pay very much for a black box.

But its the black box of win! lol
From what I can see, it looks really good. Kudos to Vulcan for making these. GREAT job guys.
Not trying to start anything...but seriously, think if you were buying this. Would you even think about dropping a dime on something without seeing the craftsmanship? I wouldn't...not a red cent. Just a thought.
