Hi Keohane6373, hello everyone,

Welcome to TOC.

Unless headers for another Olds V8 will fit, you're out of luck.

No chance anyone would make them for your application. The market is just not there.

Regards, Norm

I agree. Your best bet is to have them custom made, but I cant see a 307 needing headers...

Hi andrewk, all,

Hedman " Block Huggers" below would be an improvement over manifolds, and would be a better choice if he's not changing cams.



Whether they'll work in his car, is a different story.

I was thinking of a different situation.... Probably someone that had W/Z manifolds, and had a relatively stock engine, and the engine wasnt in need of exuast help from headers.... or at least the 'improvement' was neglegiable.

307 manifolds with dual exhausts would work just as well, but I think his mind was made up already.
