I don't know of any....but......stepping out on a limb here. 330 and 350 heads have the same intake/exhaust configuration. If the exhaust manifolds are interchangeable it is reasonable to deduce they should bolt up. The only unknown is whether the location of the collectors will interfere with the chassis.

It would be helpful to know what type and year car you are working with. Maybe someone here has some "experiences" to share?

I bought a set from Hedman. They are rear dump so the motor mount location is not a problem. I'm using them on a street rod so I don't know if the Olds linkages will clear.

The 65- 67 A bodies have limited availability for sbo headers because of clearance. To the best of my knowledge there are no shorty headers available. Thornton sells a manifold that is a hair better than stock.

Kooks and American Racing Headers sells a long tube header for an sbo in the earlier A bodies, take a nitro pill before pricing.

Sanderson and Hedman both make shorty headers for 350 with rear dump. I don't know whether they will fit a 330 and an early Cutlass. Seems like they should. I would give them a call.

Thornton manifolds are waste of money.

Shorty headers probably don't do much power wise but they sure look nice without the installation headaches of full length headers.

Nothing works on your car but Thornton manifolds or $$$ARHeaders.
