Header gaskets for SBF stroker (351 windsor)
« on: October 03, 2021, 03:26:32 PM »
Whats everyone using for header gaskets? Everything I look at fits the inside holes and the supplied headers are using the outside holes. And I had to grind the crap out of the flange so the spark plug boots would go on the plugs :(

Here are 3" bolt spacing gaskets. Fel-Pro 1487 or Remflex 3039, Remflex 3035?

I stayed away from the Remflex as they pushed the headers out far enough to concern me with spacing between the header pipes and footboxes.  I went with standard Felpro gaskets.  Headers aren't that hard to seal properly so a regular gasket should work fine.

Aaron, what did you use on sidepipe flanges?

The Remflex 8065 has been used quite often on the side pipe flange here. 2" openings with the 4-3/8" bolt pattern for the flanges.
