Does the one the guy on YB suggested work?
Cometic should make whatever you want, maybe give them a call

He didn't give a part number so I'm not sure. I'm trying the ones Brian suggested

I don't have any pictures of the oem 351w vs the dart one. My old block is all oiled up and wrapped and I don't really want to tear it open

The guy that posted pics with the dial indicator, maybe I'm dreaming but I thought he mentioned differences in the oem block passages but idk.

 

[BOSS#1540]

Yes, I’m fucked on the head. I guess I had that number gasket for so long, I defaulted to it.

I’m using the M-6051-B341’s look at the shape of the rings. They are all goofy.

Yeah, yates I think, the Cleveland felpro 1013 have the notches as well.
I'll have a look at my cometic.

That was my dumb ass looking at the driver bank vs the passenger bank

My cometic are notched as well. Are yours for yates or Cleveland high ports? Yates removed the cant.

Don't worry guys. Shafiroff "uses them all the time with no issues"

 

[Mike Beck]

If I remember correctly the Cometic head gaskets for my SBC have a potential issue which they state right on the package. Not sure what the hell it was, but the Felpro MLS gasket did not have the issue. Probably same type of BS, something with a coolant passage.

Now that I'm thinking about it, it was something to do with the little wings on the ends that go up towards the intake........

 

[Mark O'Neal]

What gasket do the ford specialists use?

I usually use Cometic, 4.200 on a 4.125 bore .. and surface the heads at less than 30 ra, same notion for the block. I don't have the issue you seem to.

Run 1144s and you'd be fine too.

 

[Mark O'Neal]

Oddly enough the 1011-1 is what was on my original build, as well as the 2nd time it was built. Although I don't quite understand what your issue is with them because my brain wasn't/ isn't working

1011s have a 4.100 bore.

Same one I linked and using. Holding fine at 15lbs boost.

 

[Raidmagic]

So did you put gaskets in it?

 

[89 Fox 427]

So did you put gaskets in it?

No. Mark uses them, Shafiroff uses them and they are the ones who built the shortblock. I'm just running it as is. If the heads ever come off I'll run something different.

 

[Low & slow]

Is the engine in the car yet ?

 

[89 Fox 427]

Nope because I don't have fuckin wheels and it's 3ft in the air on jack stands

The wifeys race car (1989 Trans Am) is on wheel dollies also. I bought a set of them from Horrible Freight. Lemme tell you, these things are AWESOME!

Where are the other motors? Any plans for them?

 

[89 Fox 427]

If housing is ever affordable I'll try to find a 72 ford courier and 66/67 Fairlane
