[DeTomaso] Exhaust Port Plates for conversion to 2bbl heads with 4bbl headers

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Feedback so far has been that a lot of folks have had good luck sealing 
4V  headers to 2V heads.  Apparently, they seal -better- on 2V Aussie 
heads, and others have indicated the gasket they use seems to make the 
difference.  Having done some gasket research a while back when fitting 
Hooker Headers to my Mach I, I know there is a huge difference in 
gaskets, so I would (at this point) say that is might be possible to 
seal 4V headers on 2V heads if you have the right gasket.
