Mustang shorty headers fit very well. I used the 1986-93 style. Used stock shorties can be had on ebay for $25 or so. S/S so they clean up like new. If you are concerned with squeezing out every last bit of performance, there are numerous long tube headers that will work as well. I have heard of people using torino/fairlane etc headers from late 60s and early 70s. I wouldn't run far with that long tube recommendation though. You want an exact P/N if you go with long tubes. Headers that don't fit well are nothing but grief you don't need.

I used Flowtech ceramic coated Block Hugger headers in my '59. Not a cheap alternative, at $256.99, but I had no trouble making clearances except with the full-sized starter, which appears to be universal, and had to get the smalller of the two available. They continue to look, sound, and perform great.
