Default 69 style side exhaust header question

I'm running a 69-74 style factory side exhaust on my 77. I would like to know If anyone has headers to fit this system that will also fit D-port angled plug heads (Trick Flow #TFS-30400001 ) heads. Thanks.

I have the Hedman 68280 hedders mounted on my ZZ4 that's in a 68 Convertible. No problems with fit. I did grind the header flanges to match them up to the D ports. Not too much grinding was required. The D ports aren't all that much different than the header rectangular ports.

Cool, I can grind. My garage is trashed with aluminum dust after all the port work I did to these heads, intake, runners (Accel TPI system) and base. I really hope these will fit If it's just some minor grinding that will not affect the integety of the header Are ZZ4 heads angled plug? Thanks.

After e-mailing Heddman I got the same responce. "DALE WE HAVE NO HEARERS THAT WILL FIT YOUR APPLICATION" In a nice way of course, I think I will order them anyway and custem fit them to my heads, then send them off to get coated. What's the best way to grind then to make sure they fit? Thanks
