Default Show your hotsides

I will be building the hot side of my custom G-Body turbo kit soon and I need some ideas. I searched around a little but most pics show turbo placement not the headers themselves. Im really concerned about good plug access and not burning wires as well as them being asthetically pleasing. Anything you can show would be great log manifolds or header type. Thanks

i don't have any pictures of my headers, but when my buddy built them, to ensure easy plug access, he would put a plug socket and an extension on the plugs as he would build around them. my plugs are easier to get at with my turbo headers then they were before when it was NA with long tubes...i also have no AC now, so that helped as well

With a simple engine bay, yes they are roomy. Once you add all the accessories I'd beg to differ.

Belive me I was not knocking your work or saying it was easy. I have built a few Mustangs in my day. Just saying thier engine bay layout affords more room in general than the F-Body.
