FWIW, I mocked up truck manifolds with my Granny's kit before I pulled it apart to sell the whole thing. You will need to offset the motor over to the driver's side of the car. The header wouldn't go on without removing one of the flange studs, and even then making the turn out of there is going to be fun. An inch or so would probably do you right.
