Re: Would these headers be OK for my '57?

I only have 1/2 inch clearance with the headers I am using now. So lets see some pictures of what you work out. Thanks!
I really don't think you can really guess about your headers until you have a 400 box in place. It's a completely different shape than the stock box. I'll take pics though.

Is your engine already in place to where it would be difficult to move if you had to? Also, would you be willing to switch to other headers or ram horns if you had to?
