Charlie is correct. The ones you have identified on eBay will not fit the '55-'57 'Birds. Consider looking at these from Sanderson. Click the link below . . . https://www.sandersonheaders.com/sanderson-ftb1-header-set-for-ford-y-block-engines-in-1955-1957-thunderbird.html?category_id=40Another set to consider are these from Ford Power Train Applications shown on John Mummerts site.

I do know that quite a few people have used them. I don't think they fit a T-Bird and while they haven't been tested, the design is terrible for performance so if that is what you are after, then they are not what you want. I don't think they will be better than stock manifolds, but possibly not worse, and probably better than the crossover setup.

Anyone used these before. I realise they are cheap and you probably get what you pay for but wondering if theyd out perform my 57 tbird duals? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Y-Block-Headers-272-292-312-/322830177891?hash=item4b2a2d9663:g:SGgAAOSwHoFXsnWd&vxp=mtr
