I have a Camaro clip in mine too. If you have a lot of time and patience, you can make some fender well pipes no problem.

I'm not quite following you but it sounds like you are looking for what we call fenderwell headers.

Something like this
http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Garage...ers,41624.html
Or http://www.classicchevy.com/chevy-sa...1955-1957.html

You would most lilely make your own though as I don't think the production units would fit your chassis.

This is the sort of setup I'm talking about , long neck pipes that tuck tightly inside the rails , but I don't have the patience or skill to do the job ....

I don't want to run fenderwells as I won't have enough clearance , ideally something that'll fit inside the rails and be close to the block ..

If you're wantin "tightly tucked inside the rails" why not run headers for the year subframe you're runnin. That's what I've previously done. Good luck.
