You should get an answer on the headers. I know they are available for the T-Bird. As far as the disc brake conversion I used a Lincoln Versailles set up on mine. They require no drilling of the ball joints and bolt in on th 55-56 Ford. Do you share the same ball joints? Chuck

For headers try out this site - Al Frakes put a set of these on his bird and they look like the "real deal". The steady rest mounting is truly trick.

I bought my disk brake conversion from CASCO for my 57 Bird.   All the parts including master cyl and new rear wheel cylinders included.   Installed per directions with NO surprises.   I also bought the mechanical brake light switch too.   One stop shopping and everything fit.   J
