The Ford Barn

How's it going everyone? I just picked up my first Ford coming from the world of Chevys ('54 210 and '51 Belair). I want to put dual exhaust on this bad boy. I really want to stick with cast iron and I found a few places that sell the driver side manifold with the rear outlet, but none of them have one in stock. There's Fenton but I hear they have fitment issues so I don't know if I want to toss them $400 and then have a battle on my hands. It's looking like I can either use a u-bend off the front of the drivers manifold of go with headers. I see Reds and Speedway both sell them. From what I'm reading, the Reds headers are hit or miss in quality/fitment. Does anyone have experience with the universal speedway headers? I've yet to see anything about someone using them so I have absolutely nothing to go on. Any info is appreciated
