Header suggestions for a 56

I'm looking for a decent set of headers for a 56 with a 351w and c6. Anybody have some suggestions?

Headers depend largely on steering box location. Does your 56 have stock front suspension and steering?

Yes. The front end is stock.

Hi I just bought Sanderson Headers for my 56 with a 351W. I will be running a Toyota steering box so the stock manifold would not clear. They cost around $300.00

Here is a link to them. The FF4 header set is designed to fit small block Ford 351W engines in a variety of street rods, cars and pickups.

My truck is not up and running (and won't be for a while) so can't say if i like them yet or not but they look to be well built. I didn't get the ceramic coating ($50.00 extra).

We'll see.

Kevin

If you look in my gallery you will see the LH header in one album and the RH header in the other album. Mine are from a junk yard 92 T-Bird 5.0L that I cleaned up and had coated. I have about $280 in them. I have a LTD power steering gear and engine cross member along with coil springs and disc brakes grafted in.
