340 exhaust manifold heat shield

Take the 273 heat shield and trim the ports off leaving the vertical shield portion next to the ports then rivet the heat shield at just above the port bolt holes to a Felpro 340 exhaust manifold gasket.

I did this on my 340 and you can’t tell the difference from a reproduction.

It’s been on my engine that way for over 20 years
