340 heat shield/gasket

I really wish that I had an original to compare it to. I vaguely remember my original that I removed from the 69 340 back in 1970. I have a question for the gentleman who is selling these which pertains to the rivets. Other than that I'm happy with them. They aren't going to be installed for a while but wanted to grab a set to have. For the price of $297.00 for both sides compared to $500.00 for alleged NOS I'm stoked. Unless they're true McCord they aren't NOS. Just my 2 cents.

Those are pretty nice. I might have an original one...Ill post it if I do and send you a P.M. I know I have several 273's but I have an older 340 x head in the barn that may have them. I would have used a resistance spot welder rather than the rivets. But, now that you have them maybe drill out the rivets and tig weld the holes shut. That is a much better price they should sell well. Thanks for posting.
