Does anyone know of a set of headers that are built for 57's running a Y block. I have read on the internet that yestertech was supposed to be coming out with some or maybe they have already, no website for yestertech? I heard that Jardine was making them also but finding them online is another story. One of the biggest reasons I decided to do a engine swap was the lack of headers available for my Y block, does someone know where I can find them?

look at the page that says 4 tube headers. I haven't used them but I see them recommended by others.
Red's been offering them for years http://reds-headers.net/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=10&sort=20a&filter_id=1
I ordered header flanges and built my own. Used an old set of sbf collectors, bought all the bends and welded them up.
I think I used 1 5/8 tube and there is plenty of room for all the tubes to go around the steering box.
I used Red's Headers on a 292 in a 55 Ford.. good headers. everything fit.But that was 18 years ago....
I spoke with Jerry Christensen from yestertech this morning. His headers are defenitly top notch and built to fit the car, no hammer to fit issues with his stuff. They are $850 a set for the 57' which I think is a fair price for hand built headers. He said he has also done some of the super scavenger style headers like Mickey Thompson used to offer.
