does anyone make headers for 351c in 1957 ford  if not  does anyone  know what would work?

Not positive, but since headers for a 352-428 FE 76-70 MUstang are alleged to fit a 57 Ford, perhaps a set of headers for a 70 Mustang with a 351C may be worth looking into. I have also heard that 66-69 FE Fairlane headers also fit, with minor re routing of one tube, so maybe Torino headers may be useable? I recall that the FE, and most other long tube headers that will work in a 57, have the collectors located directly at the transmission crossmember, which requires modifying or buying/fabricating the crossmember.  My 59 with a 428 FE has FPA headers, that were designed for 57-59 Ford cars, that do not require any trans crossmember alterations, maybe check to see if FPA has something that will work.
