Not much room in the rear and from what I gathered it would be a bigger pita then front turbo set up, with all the pipping under the car.only benefit would be alot less underhood heat, I have a fuel injected twin turbo 79 and there is very little/tight space with all the pipping from turbos and intercooler. I'm looking to build an earlier model but between cost and fab work I'm going SC just for the ease of installing. For example the turbo banks manifolds on my car are 1800 alone.

Can certainly be done....but that's a lot of piping to run under a car that already is tight just getting exhaust pipes under it.
I installed twins in the "gill" area of mine with a 555" between them. They are tucked out of the way and I could easily install any engine I wanted to and just make up new pipes from headers/manifolds to turbos.
