Arrow WTB: Putting the feelers out for custom headers

I need to decide if I'm going to run my radiator in the trunk (93 notch) and part of that hinges on having custom headers made and how much it might cost.
I want to run the exhaust like the photos, which is basically a rear engine design. Just in the front of the Mustang and run down low instead of flipped up like the buggies.
Catch is its a 460 so its a tight fit, but it can be done as proof by the pictures. I would just need the collectors angled differently to make the x-pipe or single muffler, then dumped in front of the front wheels.
Headers do not need to be equal length.
Crazy yes, impossible no. Who has mad exhaust skills that wont take food off my kids dinner plate? I can add your name to the project "love me" car show board, my website, all the forms I post on etc etc
Post or PM me for details I might have missed.
Off road ideas:








460 Mustangs:






This is a 302 but you get the basic idea:

look around on www.speedwaymotors.com they have a bunch of unusual header designs for circle track cars. maybe you can find something close that can be modded for a lot less can a set of customs.

Best bet is to find a header that is close and modify it... cost on a custom built one off headers is not going to be cheap.. especially stainless ones..
