There's hardly enough room for the tires in the wheelwells much less headers.

Well this definitely veered off target.

Does anyone make this style for the L98/Gen 1 SBC? You would for sure have a lot of fab work on the header as well as your car. I rolled this around for a bit thinking about a design for side pipes which I assume is why you are asking or are you just trying to get the shortest out for racing? With the amount of work necessary I doubt you will find anyone who has done this but it would be interesting to see.

Which means I will be watching and waiting to see if there is any valid responses to your question.
