Fitting TTi headers on a 273
Hello people.
I could do with some help please.
I’m in the Uk
I purchased a set of headers for my 67 Barracuda.
The new headers have a different port size to the 273 heads.
When I put the gasket against the head - it looks to big for the ports.
I’ve checked on TTi website and the headers are for a 340.
When I purchased them I didn’t realise the headers for a 273 are a special build.
Below is the information from TTi website about the special build.
*For 273-318 Small-port cylinder heads, with the port diameter 1.09w x 1.55h. Applications with these small-port cylinder heads, will require modification to the ports for our headers to seal properly. Additional material will be added to the ports for headers to seal properly. Modification will be done prior to coating. Please allow additional time for the modification and the coating process, approximately 4-6 weeks. Headers requiring modification is considered a "SPECIAL ORDER".
My problem is I can’t send them back to TTi because it would cost a fortune in shipping from the uk.
Is there a way I can get them to fit.
Thanks in advance.
Below is a picture of the gasket on my 273 head. This is how the TTi header would fit.
It would probably leak.
