Exhaust port toungues on the gasket between header and head. Rule did not say you couldn't But did not say you could at that time.

He got by with those for a while. Suprised me.

i think the reason for being tossed was that the pieces where not gaskets but where what looked like port plates with ears on them at the top of the port must have been a rule it was not desputed by edwards .we all have our moments i had mind ****

It was another header flange plate with that piece welded to it that raised the port. They usually just dropped that as they pulled the header back during tear down.

You are correct on a flange about a 1/8 thick As I remember Scott Man at MPG mstill makes and sells these Items. BTW he bought the car from Mike later

There is definitely room for a class such as this TODAY. COST cutter. Any S or SS or Mod chassis with a given motor. Same Wt Heads up Tech winner and R/U.
A single engine builder , single cubic inch. One head casting, One carb,
I would think this would be a cheaper way for S and SS to survive than the High Buck open rules as they have progressed.

I agree with Dick, easy to police, easy to afford. Make them all actually clutch and shift so the driver has to be a little bit talented also. It could work.
