You can make or have made a flange kit using the old exhaust manifold as a pattern. Then you or a competent welder can make up a set of custom headers based on the flange you have made. This is how I made a set of headers for a 53 Cadillac V8 sitting in a 53 Chev coupe. In those days I was a competent gas welder. I could not do that now but someone can. I had given up trying to adapt a set of Olds V8 headers and started from scratch. It helped that I was working in a welding shop at the time.
