Default What offset headers?

We are currently swapping a new LS3 engine into a customers 89 Toyota Supra and ran into some problems with the headers. We bought a set of Hookers Supercomp Block Huggers together with the engine but even with some cutting, bending and other stuff they wont even nearly fit into the engine bay. We need a pair of headers that is as tight to the block but the collector has to be more in the back and not centered.

Anybody has some ideas? 2,5" connectors would be a plus because space is quite tight already.

Try Trailblazer SS headers... I think they dump out at the back....
Are the exhaust ports round or D shaped??
