I recently purchased a 1951 Ford convertible, and I've been looking for a pair of headers that I can use to replace the driver's side exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe. What is on the car now was cobbled together and is rather restrictive. I checked with Red's Headers, but the only headers they offer for my 1951 will not fit a convertible. Any thoughts on where I might find headers that will fit my convertible? Thanks.
 
When I put the Fenton cast iron headers on my '51 Ford club coupe, it wasn't the header that was the problem, it was the head pipe interfering with the frame and clutch linkage.

I would expect the convertibles to have a similar problem. One suggestion : make sure you have good (new) front motor mounts.
 
Have you investigated if Speedway Motors headers fit? There are dimensions posted as well

On April 22, I ordered a set of headers from Red's Headers for my 1951 Custom Convertible. It took me several tries via email and phone, but I finally got through to someone on the phone; and was able to place my order. They told me they would notify me via email when they were shipping the headers.
