Depending on your time frame.

1. A spacer can be machined for that gap. 2. Repair the original one.

3. Cut a 2 inch piece of pipe to fit. Use spacers on the bolts. So flange of pipe won't bend.

4. Gerry pac sw might have used heat risers. I can machine one. Mike delinsky. I am sure has them used too.

Gerry is close to me ..

Can't remember. But i think 1-3/4 fits inside. Then you could put 2 inch over the 1-3/4. To fit into manifold.

But the holes need to be welded. Closed. I used jb weld and it blew out. That's if you use packard riser.

I don't have 2-1/4 cold roll to machine spacer. I have aluminum. But that won't fly. Or will it.?..
