Default Need opinions/input on twin or single build w/ Stainless Works foward headers**Pics**

Long story short Im building a 408 with Stainless works down&foward headers(to retain a/c). I was running the STS kit with the GT67 turbo on the OE motor. I aquired a matching GT67 turbo through another forum member.

The plan was to run twins but once I had the headers, condersor & radiator in place I now see that they will not fit and even if I did get them positioned to fit the bends from the headers to turbo would be extreme.

Has anyone else had fitting experience or seen pics of twins with the Stainless works headers? My searches have not turned anything up as of yet.

Or do I need to scrap the twins idea, sell them both and go to a single large turbo setup?

Any input is highly appreciated.

Do you have pictures of how you set up your radiator and condenser. I couldn't get the factory one to fit nicely so I ordered a be cool condenser that's narrower than the factory piece. I should have pictures up soon, just wanted to see how you accomplished getting it all to fit.

Nelson Racing Engines sells some pricey cast or billet elbows. He's put at least 1500hp through them.
You can see them on his site. - just an option, they are out of my budget-

I cant see clustering them in the center of the engine bay so having each sitting near the fenders is what I was left with in my head. But with the way the headers sit IDK.

The header on the pass. side pitches inward to clear room for the a/c accumulator/drier.

Only way I can see making this work is coming out of the headers with a loop upward curving towards the fenders and into the exh. inlet of the turbo.

This is a Ky setup. Could you replicate something like this?
