Great Job Yogurt. Very well done. As for headers, the problems seems to be the constraints of the space near the alternator and AC pulleys. It can be done, but it will be a tight, tight squeeze and you will need to heat protect and shield everything.

One other note hear, the heads do flow very well, as Yogurt said. However, you can increase valve diameter and compression; estimated gains of 15-20%, depening on cam mods, too. If you're going to add nitrous, I wouldn't go over 11:1, but if you want it straight, 12:1 is high and requires high octane.
