Very nice!
But but it IS Normal
The headers have equal length, 14" long primaries and approx 13" secondaries, so about 27" to the final collector in a small package.
The primaries are paired 180 degrees apart with a special merge to provide max scavenging.

To fit the 1GZfe there was:
Minor mod to the xmember to clear sump and fabricate all new mounts for V12 isolators.
Fire wall mods to clear heads, tunnel rebuilt to house T56.
Relocate park brake lever rearward about 4 1/2" because the shift is that far back from the standard position. (console will be extended to fit).
Mounts for sway bar lowered & forward for the bar to clear harmonic pulley and mounts also trenched to accomodate radiator (Ford with twin elec fans).
Top panel trimmed to allow radiator to fit forward for clearance also requiring the wiring loom to be relocated from between the radiator & condenser to behind the front bumper.
Yes, that is a Mk3 IRS, alot more work in fitting involved than the 1GZ!

Twin ecu, twin drive by wire throttles
Built as a ultra smooth high torque unit to lug a luxobarge along side big Mercs & big Beemers.
