[Tigers] CAT Headers and alum heads

[Buck Trippel]

The flange on CAT headers match the early 351 Windsor head, not the the 
smaller 260 or 289 head. The FelPro 1415 gasket is used for both. The shape 
of the port in the gasket is the shape of the port on the headers.

Most aftermarket aluminum heads are also patterned off the 351 Windsor head.
