No but if you call summit they will look up your heads and headers and they have part numbers for gaskets that we can not see in the book or online. Also they will call tech. Thats what I did for my Pro 1s and Hooker LT. The earls copper ones are good, havent blown them. I assume you know the number but here anyway... 1-800-230-3030

I have percy's aluminum square port gaskets on my stock LG4 with Hooker 2460 (comp) headers. I don't really think the port shape matters, it should seal up either way.

Just buys some Fel Pro exhaust manifold gaskets.....two sets. Run 'em (2) to a port, metal side on the header, other metal side on the head. Cheap, durable, and I've NEVER had a gasket related leak on ALOT of header installs in more than a few types of cars.


What do you think racers did before all the "high tech" gaskets came out?

An old 60's drag racer taught me this trick awhile back.

As Mark Shields dubbed it, I'm a "double stacker".

LOL, I wasn't impressed with copper gaskets, they sealed horrible. Put a pair of fel pros on and ok so far.
