Long tubes are a pain in the ass. We haven't put long tubes in a car in yeeeears. They generally interfere with power rack conversions thus requiring modifications on the driver side header.
Aftermarket Mustang II conversions (the most common front end swap on a classic) generally aren't compatible since the long tubes usually come down and run right into the cross-member. And they are a bitch to route around any late model transmission like a T56 Magnum, which already require trans tunnel modifications just to get the proper pinion angle.
For most street applications (300-800 Crank HP) they're simply un-necessary and muddle up the job, requiring more modification for no real reason.
