I would cut the flanges and weld v-bands. If you are really crafty then cut the passenger manifold and weld a straight pipe to the manifold then to a v-band to make a easy route for the down pipe to fit thru.

If you are wondering which of the Griffen Radiators will do this technically none if the 3 will do it BUT there are a few that have got away with the gri-1-25241-x
But I would personally dish the extra 100 bucks out and go for the gri-1-55241-x or gri-1-55241-xs.

I don't know the horsepower but my 80lb injectors where at 77% duty cycle @70psi fuel pressure. 5100rpm.
Mike the air horn is not an air horn, its called a Noise attenuator. Simply there to reduce noise. Also the 83mm billet wheel has a larger exducer then the 82mm billet wheel so it will support more pressure and more power....by around 3 lbs/min or ~30hp. Also the smaller 87mm turbine will fall flat on a rear mount compared to the new 92mm LDP turbine you have. So the units are quite different then what he was sold.

583@10lb's my run is at the 2:00 minute mark, as you can see it spins the rollers pretty hard. it spun the tires on the dyno so the power stayed flat from 5100rpm on

Yes unlocked, Mustang dyno, the 583 was at 5200 rpm, the tires started to slip and the power stayed level to 6200.

It's a Jake's 4L80E with a Torque Converter shop billet converter that came as a package from Jake's.

I don't see an 87mm turbine wheel fully supporting a 82mm billet compressor wheel.

If it doesn't work he can always machine it for a different wheel, it will at least help you decide what your looking for as far as balance between hp & spool.

Non-sense, you never know what you can do until to try it, headers really aren't that hard just a little time consuming.

spool fast for a large single is what i should say. nothing is going to spool like the twins lol
but i should be easier for me to make the car come out of the hole.
the single should also free up some pounds. those twins are heavy. the intercooler is heavy as hell too with huge cast end tanks. i bet its 40lbs lol
