Just joined this forum this morning. I am ordering a bunch of rebuild parts from John M. next week and I am looking forward to talking to him.
My question is does anyone have headers for these motors, or a kit, or flanges I can make myself?
I have a friend that has about 40 55-56 Mercs and more parts than NAPA for these cars. Hardtops four-doors, rags, wagons, you name it this guy has it. ECZ heads. If you are looking for the hard stuff this guy has it all in dry storage. Oh he has 3 56 Mark II's and a 57 Lincoln rag. He has been collecting these cars for 40 years and has helped me out a bunch. 54 -55-56 Mercury's is his gig.

Welcome to the site John. I've taken the liberty of moving your post to the technical section as it's a better fit here. Sanderson and Reds Headers are two companies to look at in regards to headers for the Y engines. I'll add that "Headers By Ed" also makes flange plates and kits for the Y engines. There are a couple more companies working on headers for the mid-Fifties Ford and Mercury cars and that information will be posted as it becomes available.

Charlie, I think I got the last set that Noxious Customs had, but it wouldn't hurt to check with them. Hellsgatehotrods also sells them on ebay and Speedway Motors has them as well.

From a newbie,What about the Fenton cast iron headers, maybe not a real header, but better than stock?
Does anyone sell or reproduce them?

Unfortunately no. Although they didn't test but a little better than stock on the dyno run that Ted made. There is a guy on EBAY that has apparently found a bunch of of the left side Fenton but no right side. When they show up as a set they are usually in the $400 range for a pair. I've seen the left side only go for as little as $100 but its not much use alone. So far nobody has found a cache of rights. Chuck

Nobody mentioned Jerry Christenson's headers. You can find him in the links section of the home page under Yestertech.
What about the ones Mummert had a guy working on, did they ever come to fruition yet?
