**** 360 Piston Options ****

How sure are you on that gasket info? Unless the gasket changed, Felpro stock replacement (blue permatorque) gaskets are .045 or so compressed thickness. Victor Reinz are thicker, in the .055 range. Those have not changed since the 80s and 90s respectively when they each came out.

My standby is the KB-107. Lightest of the bunch (I always internally balance the engines I build), plenty strong unless the user plans for big nitrous, and very stable with the tight piston to wall. However - if your engine is already run at +.040 then I would use the Speed Pro H116CP because the KB needs a tight piston to wall and is best on a fresh bore/hone job. The Speed Pro doesn't.


I measured a compressed one myself with calipers and did the calculations for my How to check compression thread, and it came out to 12.4 cc.

They do not sell the fel pro .039" thick gasket in the teardown kits, you can only buy them as singles for $40 each... You can get a complete gasket kit for less than those two gaskets cost.... :banghead:
