    Anyone have a lead on what headers will work for the install of a 454 into a '56 two door hardtop.
    Thanks

    Sorry I forgot to say they have to work with 605 power steering.

    the 605 box is very close in size and shape to the original box in the area where the header tubes go. It's a tight squeeze....

    the headers I have in m 55 work nice, but they are no long available. be sure to check how low they go if the car is lowered, most of the older designs are meant to be used with the original mounts and so they hang down a ways below the frame.
     
  6. Sanderson makes a header that fits a big block with a 605. I installed a set on a customers way back , it was tight but it fit.
