Source for "over the frame" hot rod headers in 1/25

[Chris in Berwyn]

I am planning to build Revell's '29 Ford Roadster with a Hemi instead of the kit engine, but I still want over the frame headers, similar to what is shown in the pic (the kit engine is an SBC so the kit's over the frame headers won't work with a hemi.)  Replicas and Miniatures of MD offers them, but they are $8 plus $12 shipping, and I don't need any other R&M products, so $20 seems like a lot for a pair of headers.  3DScaleParts on eBay offers a set for $15 and $4 shipping, so that is not much better.  Any other resin, 3D printed or kit parts you can point me to?  Thanks!

Are there any headers for say a big block Chevrolet in another kit that would work. They have very similar spacing and may be manipulated if needed.

In agree.  Headers for a BBC would work.  If anyone has any ideas pls let me know!

That particular style you can find in the AMT 32 Ford Phantom Vicky.
It has a Ford Modular engine with evenly spaced exhaust ports and the headers will most likely work on the Hemi.

If you have someone that can 3D print them for you, I found these on the Cults3D website that are close:

These are both great suggestions.  I had looked at Cults 3D and couldn't find any - thanks for pointing these out!

Sometimes the problem with some of the websites like Cults3D is what the person that designed the file called it.  If you do a search for say "Hemi Headers" you may not get many results, but if you do a generic search for like "Exhaust Manifold" you might get a whole bunch to look through.

If you ever need help with finding something, just let me know.  John Teresi has asked me if I could find several things he wanted for some of his builds, and I was able to find them or something close that would work.
