Exhaust Header/Manifold for 49 f6 coe

Hey guys! I am looking to put some new exhaust manifolds or header on my 255 flathead that is in my f6 COE. My original manifold are pretty rough and I didnt pay attention enough when i pulled the motor to see what kind of clearances i had to work with. My question for you all is what have you used and liked, where did you get it from and are manifolds better than headers or is the opposite true?

Thank You!

You have the original 254 flathead six in a COE, correct? Are you still using the updraft carb? Maybe I'm missing something. I'm not aware of any aftermarket manifolds for the COE's. Even the stock used ones are very rare.

There's a pic in this thread that may be helpful to you.

Note: The same exhaust manifolds are used on the P-3 & P-5 parcel delivery trucks.

Ok, back to square one. I think a Google search should turn up some good pics.

I ran center dump headers on the flathead V8 in my '47 COE. I would imagine that they would work on the '48-'52 COEs also.
