so I decided to fabricate my turbo toward the front....it's not done yet just need to fabricate the up pipe connection and down pipe ....here's some pics of the progress so far

Info is in signature and it's pretty straight forward......delete ac, rotate both exhaust and compresser housing, chop speed daddy's header pipe and up pipe and weld them up with a v band so you can easily switch to a t3/t4 turbo if wanted...on my previous build I made a 3 inch downpipe similar to gbodys for the 84 cars and chopped it down....the oil drain line I used the existing hole in front of the block of engine, I modded the brackets to mount a 1987 gn intercooler and a 87 intake....I'll post more pics as the progress goes but it's pretty simple actually and gets rid of all the piping when converting to intercooled
 
Here's what it looked like before as time went by
