The TFS heads must have a groove cut into them for the Loc wire to locate. If the heads dont have that cut maid, you should have it done and then you can use those Loc wire gaskets. I have TFS heads that were ported ar the factory and they cut the bowls so much I have to use a big bore head gasket. So take a look at the bowls.

No the loc wire gaskets won't work. Sell them on ebay or corral.net. I doubt you're at the level where you need to O-ring. You can easily split the stock block just fine with out O-rining the heads. With proper fuel delivery, good gas and realisitic spark advance, there is no need to O-ring a stock block. JMHO.


66 InjectedCobra- big bore gasket? Factory Ported Trick Flow heads?

I dont know Mike but if you paid him for it there is a problem because the head gaskets you took are mine.

The ones you need I have, but Matt is using them on his motor.

You can buy the one you need at Monument car parts.

The oring gasket wont work and they belong to me.

When can I come pick them up?
