Does the stand alone kit come with the large diameter exhaust stacks or will they need to be scratch built?

Interesting that Round2 has a disclaimer in the instructions for the turbine kit that they don't know which kits it would fit.  The sprue with the exhaust parts included the crossmember, exhaust stack bracket, battery boxes and mounts, along with ethe auto trans shift tower and shifter for the GMC Astro.  In the original instructions, the turbine engine assembly was actually step 1 with the Detroit diesel the next option.

A buddy is putting it in a Pete conventional. Exhaust is a bear....but it fits.

Chevrolet, GMC, White-Freightliner, Kenworth and Peterbilt all installed Allison Turbines in experimental trucks.

As did American LaFrance.

What I want to know is if a certain Finnish Modeler can fit this turbine into a '59 Chevrolet (Jetrolet) Ragtop.
