My 1955 President has had the 259 engine replaced with a 289. What cross over pipe do I use, 259 or 289 ? Can most exhaust shops make a new X-over pipe?? [?][?][?]

"Which crossover pipe do I use?" - dimensionally speaking, there's NO difference between a 259 & 289. Both would use the same pipe. ANY decent exhaust place should be able to make one.

What oldcarfart's try in' to impart is that the head pipe comin' off the left manifold should have a flattened section along it's side closest to the engine block. Otherwise, you can't remove the starter motor if you have to! [V]
