The Ford Barn

I picked up a 54 Ford with a rebuilt 239 and Ford-O-Matic transmission. The car is pretty much all stock, and runs great. I would like to change the single exhaust to dual so I can get a deeper rumble out of it with a set of glasspacks. I would also like to eliminate the crossover exhaust pipe in front of the engine.
Does anyone make an aftermarket set of exhaust manifolds for the 239 that will dump the drivers side behind the engine like the passenger side? Or can I use an exhaust manifold from a 272 or a 292? I have a feeling the ports are most likely different sizes, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

Thanks!
