1/25 scale long tube headers for big block chevy

[Deuces]

So, which AMT or Revell kit has the most realistic looking long tube headers that will fit the big block  late '60s Chevelle, Camaro or Nova????? Thanks for your help!! ?

If you just want headers with longer tubes (collectors further back under the car) you're probably better off starting with the headers in that kit, then just lengthening them.  If you're working on a Revell '69 Camaro, you've probably got one of the big-block variations already...just start with those headers.  Usually these things don't swap easily from one kit to another, even if they're supposed to on the 1:1 car.  I fitted a set of AMT '67 Chevelle pro street headers (which incidentally are quite long before they enter into the collectors) onto an AMT Baldwin-Motion Camaro.  They fit everywhere I didn't expect them to fit (didn't need to cut or reroute any of the individual tubes) but to make them fit would require flattening them out quite a bit.  In fact, the headers already in that kit are flattened out where they get near the subframe. 

I wasn't ignoring the advice I gave above about sticking to the parts from the same kit...the reason I made the switch was because the kit headers are side exit (for use with side pipes), and I wanted typical under-the-car exit headers instead.

The AMT and Revell 67 Chevelle pro street kits both have long tubes in them. The AMT 57 Corvette kit from the 90s with the big block in it also has some great headers. Whether they'll fit the kit you're working on I have no idea.

Thanks guys!!! I went and pilfered the headers out of my '67 Chevelle pro street kit..... I need to clean these up a bit and hack off them ugly super-trapp mufflers.... I never did like those.... ?

Once again.... Thanks for your help!!! ??

One other thing..... I do plan adding these to the '68 El Camino build along with the Hilborn stack fuel injection intake manifold from the '70 AMT Impala kit.... 

Should be a wicked looking big block when I get done with it..... I hope!!!.. ??
