Default Twin turbo manifolds

Been floating the idea of selling my Nova, and starting a new project, 86 C10. Always wanted
to do a twin turbo deal, but looking at various manifolds, it looks like most are a nightmare to
reach the plugs, and fit stock location coils. I might even consider truck manifolds, they would give
good plug access. With twins the downpipe size would be smaller, (3") depending on turbos,
so snaking it past the steering col. might not be to bad. Be nice to see some twin setups and
plug access with stock coil location-kind of the goal is a simple uncomplicated setup, lol.
Something like the KB Racing manifolds in a twin version would be cool.

If I ever went twin's I would look into using some c5 or c6 manifolds flipped.

Ive done a bunch of different setups and my favorite by far is truck manifolds down and forward....takes a lot of room but a C10 should work. This is a tube chassis Impala, the oil drains great, that was my only concern.
