What vehicle will they be installed in? I have a set of sprint car style headers that fit a 322 powered fenderless Model A with split wishbones that I'm not using.
Does anyone know where I can get headers for my 322 nailhead that dump in the middle?

It is being used in a 49 ford f1. The engine is lifte 3 inches to get the fan in the radiator.
No chance of mine fitting that set up. In some cases you can swap exhaust manifolds side to side and change a rear dump to a front dump, or vice versa. Something to keep in mind when looking at possibilities for manifolds. You should have plenty of clearance if you raise the engine that much.
I'd call Sanderson. They can probably make them or sell you the stuff to make your own.
Thanks for the suggestions. The ones I have dump in the front on the passenger side and in the back on drivers side. I just thought it would be tighter if they dumped in the middle.
Sanderson's makes a blolck hugger header for the nailhead.
Here's a link. It says 401/425, but don't all nailhead heads have the same bolt pattern for the exhaust manifolds?

Bolt patterns are all the same. It's the ports. Round on '53-'56 & rectangle on '57-'66. Can later manifolds work on early heads. Probably with some mods.
