Cool project. I'm a big fan of the '58-'60 trucks.

Since you're running an auto, you might be able to run a set of Clifford's headers, similar to these:

I have these on my Barracuda, and while the outlets point at the z-bar for the clutch setup, it looks like they would clear a slushbox application with a little fab.

Hooker also makes their Super Comp headers to fit the /6, but they are long tube headers and considerably more expensive.
