[HCO41]

RCM, I could hook up to stock manifold if I wanted to use the pipe that loops up from the front of the manifold which was the method used in the 50s. Waldron still sells this type of kit. I would prefer to use a manifold or headers that exit in the rear.
Flatkid8, if there's preformed pipes avaiable that are proven to be a good fit I'd just as soon go with them. That way I would have a source for replacement parts if needed. Waldron also makes a kit that hooks up to the Fenton cast iron headers. Reds Headers also makes a complete kit if I want to go with steel headers. I'm also going to look into the pipe supplied by Klepich (?), mentioned above. I'm not against having a shop bend up the pipes but if I can install them while putting the car together it would be more convenient, besides there's not any shops that do this work close by.
Thanks to all for the help and suggestions.
