Has anyone had any experience installing headers on a '57 Pontiac? I realize that no one makes any headers for these cars but I was hoping that maybe headers for another application may fit with some alterations. What about long-branch manifolds? Will they fit?

Im pretty sure Long Branches would fit. Most generic A-body headers would probably fit. Find a cheap pair at a swap meet and try.

I didn't know Lexus made a GTO?

I figured that headers for another application would work. There is plenty of room in the engine bay. I was just hoping that someone else had already tried this and could save me some trial and error time.
