Cylinder baffels options

I am rebuilding a 2.0 out of a 1968L. The car was left out in the cold for 10 years here in the Midwest and as you can surmise the tin did not fair well in that environment. After searching other posts for info I haven't really found and answer, so here is my question: what would be my best options for new tin. Does the updated larger engine baffles fit the smaller 2.0 cylinder spacing? This will be a street driven car only, but will have to live in the heat of traffic. I have use new LN Nickies for the cylinders if that matters. Thanks for the help.

I know early baffles don't fit a 3.0

Supertec has some trick RSR style baffles.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

I used the Supertec RSR baffles when I rebuilt the 3.0 in my SC. Work like a champ! Give Henry a call. Don't remember the exact price but I don't think they were too expensive. They may have more than one size sets now.

The baffles are the same through the 2.0 to 2.7.
