Ok, I am sick and therefore do not have the energy to read all 24 pages.:angry7:
I do have a question though. As far as heat, do you foresee any issues with excessive heating issues at the header flanges?
Feets had continual heat issues on his TT440 Belvedere. Even with 1/4" thick header flanges they still warped and leaked. His motor was an 8.5:1 440.
His layout was similar to yours but his headers faced up and forward in to the turbos.
