Exhaust kits?

In a month or so, I'll be swapping the SB 350 in my truck for a BB 402. The engine will be rebuilt and will require the 20-30 minute break-in on initial start up and I'd rather not run it like that with open manifolds. I have some exhaust shops close by to have a system made, but it'll be a pain to try and get that done with the engine not running.
Looking around, I don't see much online for full kits for the big block, most are header/cross member back kits.
Does anyone know where I could buy a quality pre-bent system, just bolt it on and go?
I would try and cut/fit/bend the small block system just to get me to the exhaust shop, but I know that won't work seeing the donut gasket for the small block actually fits inside the big block manifold.

Thanks

Re: Exhaust kits?

I got my kit from Heartthrob Exhaust but I don't see a big block kit offered. Maybe you could call them.

The kit I got for my K10 fit like a glove.

Have shop bend up a pair of headpipes from scrap useing a pattern ya supply (cardboard or pvc pipe) slip on muffs and run it in. Then perhaps trailer it or drive if no fire hazard back to them for a full exhaust afterwards.

Cool, thanks for the link. I sent off an email to them, they don't have a kit, but I may be able to buy just the manifold down sections from a 73+ C10 with a big block, and either reduce it to my stock exhaust for now, or slip some mufflers on for the engine break in and so i can drive it to the exhaust shop at a later date
