55 Olds headers?

Does anyone know if there are aftermarket headers available for my 1955 Olds Rocket running a 325 and if so where from.

I believe I've seen aftermarket cast iron headers for your vintage of car with the brand of Sanders. Someone else who knows for sure will have to chime in. If you don't get a good response here you might try posting this in the General Discussion forum. I think it may get more views there.

Sure, there is an aftermarket headers for your 324 Olds. They were made by Fenton and even had the generator bracket mount incorporated in them. The last set I saw was on EBay for a selling price of $1525. Think I'm kidding? I don't know how to post a link but it was auction #120872293158.

I don't know of anybody making them today. If you have power steering you will probably never get them to work.

And, if I'm not mistaken, these were actually manufactured for the smaller port 303's, but the pair referenced here had been 'opened' up for use on the larger port 324's

There are a couple places that have header flanges that you would need to take to a custom shop to have them fabricated, but as was said, the Power steering is tricky on these unless you've got an updated front clip

Here is one of several links to companies selling header flanges. I far as I know custom headers are in your future.
