spitfire header gasket question

All the bolt holes were drilled about 1/4" too low and cause a decent port misalignment.

And you're right, looks like these headers were designed with 273/318 manifold ports or thereabouts.

It all works okay but who wants to settle for that.

Love the stories and input, hoping to intercept power tour when it comes through town so I may be doing some of the sunday night mechanic stuff if only temporarily.

Wish me luck
