Head Gaskets

Hey all,I want to say right away this has nothing to do with Third Gens. More like Networking from one Motor head to another. Please place in the appropriate spot if this isnt correct. Im looking to have some head gaskets made for a rare engine. A Hercules DFXE. Its a huge 4000 pound diesel engine out of a WWII Diamond T Tank Transport. I know there are a few ppl here who have dealt with having gaskets made. Also, If there are guys here from Belgum, England, and may know a place to find NOS that would be great. There may be a finders fee included.

Thank you in advance.
-Dan

The plan is to restore the truck eventually. When I got it it came with a big Gasser, a Hall Scott, Took some looking but I found this orig motor in WS. She is a beast. 900 ft # of torque @ 1100 rpm. Engine hp is 201 @1600rpm. Axles are 11 :1. Its a monster. Engine weighs over 4000lbs.
