Default Designing 180 degree headers-LS1

Well i am sure some of you have seen this video

Now i have searched everywhere i could to try and find the design of the headers on that car and can't really find anything. Obviously space is limited in the engine bay so i am trying to get ideas on how would you design a set of headers to work.

Would be cylinder 1 7 6 4 in a collector and 8 2 5 3. And obviously keeping them equal length. Any ideas on design?

Buddy was going to do a set on his 427 LS based sand rial. Just hasn't yet.

I was in the same boat a few years ago. It's going to take some serious packaging. I heard you can also merge a pipe with another one (in a certain spot) to fool the pipe you're trying to merge into thinking it's equal length. A tubular K-member would sure make things easier but I don't know of anyone who makes one.
