Do you have a set of the 425A cast iron manifolds that were originally used on big cars back then, or the later style reproductions? They're kind of hard to find these days.

A quick tip - about the only way to install them is to put them in the empty engine compartment first (use some wire or something to hold them in place against the inner fenders), then install the engine, and finally bolt them up to the heads. The engine won't go in with them installed, and trying to insert them in after the engine is in place is an exercise in frustration.
