I have been searching forever and can't seem to find what I am looking for. All of the pics I find with headers mocked up don't have accessory drives on them.

Car is a 68 camaro and it is a LS3. Has a Wegner front accessory drive with Vintage air and carbon fiber valve covers that are a couple inches taller than stock.

Curious if anyone knows which off the shelf turbo header (Stainless works, Virginia Speed, etc.) will fit my application or if I am better off having some made?

If it helps at all here is a picture of what Im working with......

Id go for a custom set on that setup. Stainless Works or the OBX up and forward style may fit but a custom set would allow you to get a little more clearance for the coils and valve covers.

What are the plans for turbo(s) and power goals?

Was going to run 2 57mm. Id be happy with 500-550 at the wheels(assuming I can do that on a stock bottom end).

Not really looking for anything too crazy.

For 500 at the wheels you'd be much better off with some ported heads and a cam. It looks to be a pro-touring type car and the turbos are going to add a lot of heat, weight, and complexity. If it sees a road course, not a good combo. If its mostly for looks, then go for it. Looks very nice from what I can see.

Its mainly a show car. The turbo kit would set it apart from everyone running a bolt on blower. If I can handle more than 500 at the wheels then that would be good. Just don't want to be on eggshells every time I punch it if the boost is too high since block is stock. I don't really plan on road coursing it. Just a weekend driver. It actually has a TSP231/236 cam with PRC valve train but that will need to be replaced with a different cam once turbo goes on. Heres a side pic

Killer car. Its not a max effort turbo setup so just leave the cam. It will have a nice lope and a whistle. The two best sounds in a hot rod. The LS3 has pretty high compression so I think you'll be pretty limited on boost but it should make nice power. Make sure you use an intercooler of some sort. Treadstone has a nice compact unit for twin lower inlets.

That is a sweet looking ride ya got there!!

As far as headers go, I am not sure where you are located, but I just had a set of custom headers built by a local guy and his work is top notch! I could not be happier with the work and his prices are some of the best there are.

Here is what he did for me:

And here is a kit he did for a '68 Nova:

Hey John

I can't guarantee fitment but it looks like we just might clear that setup.
