Hot Rods 283 Chevy proper head gskts

Does any body make the proper head gaskets for the bore size on a 283 instead of the generic 4" bore ones. Thanks, Gary

 

Have you checked with Egge in Santa Fe Springs, CA?

On that "auction site", see if you can find some steel shim head gaskets for a 267/305 engine; sometimes the marine outlets will also have them. Then there's Chevrolet Performance Gaskets #10105117 in a 4 inch bore; might be a little big, but better than the universal 4.10 gaskets that are even bigger, and that's what most outlets will try and sell you. And finally, SCE Gaskets for a less than 4 inch bore steel shim gasket that's .015 thick! They may be more $$$ than you're willing to spend, but they WILL have them (on the LAST of 4 pages of SBC head gaskets for $34.00 each). I have several sets of steel shim head gaskets I've bought when I come across them; the Stock and Super Stock racers have pretty much cornered the market, but sometimes you can find them before they do.
If NONE of that pans out, I MAY be persuaded to part with a set. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

I'd dig around and find SOME part numbers CROSS them over and re-search for them in rock auto.

Thanks for all the leads, I will check them all out.

 

I got my last set from summit racing, they were felpros. Call the number to get oddball parts they won't be in the catalog.

 

Thanks Beaner, I will call them.

 

I have a set of 283 bore specific steel shim gaskets .015 - I think I got them from SCE......I will sell them if you need them PM me......you have to be careful of using 305 gaskets as most wont clear if there is an overbore....
