You have two choices - custom made or stock manifolds. Nothing on the shelf is anywhere near close enough to be modified to clear the transaxle. Sorry.

Hello Matt
Now if you put that engine in an A-body that would be a different story. I doubt there's anything available for the Olds 88 or 98 either. You asked if there was anything that interchanged with the engine. It's not just the engine that the headers are designed for, but each header application is designed to fit that engine in a specific car chassis. John

Get ready to shell out the dough. Not to rain on your parade but this is probably a no go. Jim

To get custom headers you will either have to fabricate them yourself or have an experienced exhaust shop do it for you.

Matt, my best advice to you (if you REALLY want headers) for your Toronado is this. Exhaust hone your stock exhaust manfoild. Which means clear out the webbing of your units.
To me you are getting the best of both worlds: No leaking from headers, plus " the header -like performance" you get. |

I'm pretty sure they make headers for the 455 fwd GMC motorhomes so that being said they should fit, correct.

Matt 15...................
I thought the same thing but NO, I have checked everywhere for years and when you find some place that does make the motorhome headers they will all tell you there's no way they'll fit a Toro. But please prove me wrong and make sure you post the info on every OLDS site you can find!  Mike TOA #70
