Looking for a good header gasket, the kragen ones just dont seem to cut it. What are you guys using for a sbf 302?

I got one from vic hubbard which is designed for after market headders, basically there double the thickness, they have a crush style fit so they make up for imperections on the headers or heads. Cost about $30. Best I've used so far

good shit, little pricy, like around $30 but seals extremly well. thats all I use now.
if your sealing up a stock motor you don't need a super gasket, if your building something special ![[Wink]](wink.gif) $30 is nothing

auto zone is usually where i get mine, but i think they are mr. gasket. They are usually good for a year or so, but now i can hear mine leaking. ive checked the bolts and they are tight, so if i swap them out again i wanna make sure i wont be doing this again in the near future.. its a bitch!

I thought the felpro 1415 are around $20-25. if they are exact copies just boxed different, thats a big mark up.
