A 1974 Duster - My 2nd one, 41 years later!

The current issue or problem. The new smaller PS gear still runs into the header, making it where you cannot tighten down/bolt up the header flange to the heads...see the 1/8" gap. This is only another hurdle in the hot rodding process. Marked the spot where the contact is, going to remove PS gear and the header and heat and dimple it. I will win. Is this because of these heads??? I don't know. Is it caused by the slant 6 conversion K member??? I don't know. All I know is I'll have to make it work.
