These are actually a little over .200" thick.
It's the thickest I offer, really don't believe there is anything on the market that your looking for.

Pretty sure the one set I got were at least 1/4 inch thick when I placed my order but I don't see them listed. My be worth a call or PM. I needed a thick set for my fab cover to get them over the manifold.

In the FelPro performance line they have thick SB valve cover gaskets. I don't remember the P/N, I actually looked it up on RockAuto.com, got the P/N and ordered from O'Reilly. They were at the store the next day. I have not run it yet, but they fit much better than the OEM gaskets on my '87. Order from Rockauto if you have time to wait and use the P/N resource if you don't.
