I run the LS6 style crossover on the front, and a front crossover from a truck on the rear. See pics attached. Then use a Y or T fitting to tie them together and go to the radiator. I have done this with both a FAST 92 and 102. You have to bend the the tube a little for the back but it's easy, just heat it with a torch and use a vice or vice grip to hold the crossover and then use a deepwell socket to go over the nipple and gently bend it. You can see the difference in my pictures between the group of 3 and single one. The 3 are extras I have if you're interested.
