Headers for a A body

Yup, that's exactly the one I was thinking of! That one's on an early A, so really tight on that one.

I found a couple more, these are 67+. Not quite as extreme, but still pretty tight

'72 Scamp-not really a "restoration"

Bottom line for me is anything you gain on the install of the shorty headers you lose in fabricating/installing the head pipes. Might be cheaper in outright cost if you're doing it yourself, but only if you don't consider what your time is worth.
The nice thing is @Rapid Robert 's '63 Hobby Stocker may not require hooking up to a full exhaust (?) and can get by with just a slight bend in the dump tube... otherwise I think I'd seriously consider pie-slicing and reclocking the collector outlet.
