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

Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

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
