My “go to” gasket bore diameter for stock 400/440 blocks is 4.410”.
However, I haven’t test fit one on a TF head myself....... although I have several customers with TF heads that have used them without issue.

Is the block a stock Mopar or aftermarket block? Iron or aluminum?

Tex have you ever checked to see if the gasket is hanging over in the chambers in certain area's? I did a quick visual and seemed ok .Never noticed any sign of burn on gaskets when i swapped the heads between the 3 different motors . Tex

I have been using the Fel Pro marine head gasket with my Victor E heads on a 400 block. Never an issue. FWIW, that's a 4.500" bore gasket, regardless of what the specs say.
