They are what Edelbrock recommends and I use them on my small block. Trouble free after 40,000 miles. When you order the Edelbrock B/RB head gaskets,they are 8519PT's in the package. Nautilus Racing- We use Superformance gaskets and Turbo Action converters/products.

Not me,I have reused both of the Fel pro numbers listed on here. I did blow a pair of the 1009 due to the fire ring hanging into the combustion chamber Check all things during assembly carefully before getting after the tune Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

Not me... Me, either, with the 1009s. I haven't run the standard Perma-Torque in so long that my experiences weren't on anything remotely like I'm building now.
