The head gaskets i used are just the Felpro blues coated with VHT copper gasket spray. Also I used the ARP head bolts that were to suit the iron...

    The idea was to see what we could get out of one of these little blowers on a streetable 360 small block. To date the best we have gone is 11.53 @ 118.5 mph in a 3450 lb aussie valiant sedan. I will post a couple of pics and will post specs if anyone is interested.
