here's my tip, keep the engine as far right as possible! The steering box interfering with the headers was a major pita for me, a quarter inch can be the difference between breezing through or buying a couple different sets of headers to beat up with a hammer.

I put a 302 in my FB, and the only issue I had was the cooling. No problem when I was moving, only when I got stuck in traffic on a hot day and sat idling. After several different fans and clutch arrangements, I used a stock RX-7 plastic fan, but with no clutch - just direct drive. That would eat some horsepower if you were racing at LeMans, but I rarely went over 4500 rpm, so it just didn't matter. It solved my cooling problem.
We used a set of Hedman headers, and my exhaust guy turned the collector so he could run a crossover behind the torque converter into a Y and then a 3 inch system to the back. Not familiar with the FC, but there is not room for duals on a FB unless you are willing to give up some ground clearance.
