Are you talking about the manifold flanges on the outlet?

I'm looking for what would be used to make a header flange (head side)

I've done several of these, but not any Mopar's. I always bought the gasket that is going to be used and measured it along with overlaying on the head. I did a 2300 Ford header for a CJ-3B Jeep and Ford Ford Windsor Trick Flow R Head before they made direct fit headers.

Ahhh that makes sense!
The mounting hole centerlines to ports vary from head to head.
Your choices are to make a cardboard template off the heads you will be using, or go with slot or large holes in flanges.

Photos in there of my build and on page 2 Calvin posted a sketch showing the horizontal placement for the heads of the 340 he was working on.
