We don't have any shops like that around here, any idea of brand/name of that gasket or material?Any of the hot rod or drag car supply store's will have the graphite gaskets of that shape. They start out at about a quarter inch thick and crush down, they're made for when things are "tweaked" or warped. I've used them, and their head to manifold gaskets with excellent success.

That's a good question!Thanks John but does that also apply to cast iron exhaust manifolds to aluminum heads too?
I'd be curious what gaskets are being run on these and what kind of success they are having.
Any idea how these exhaust gaskets are from 2 Bolt?

They look pretty thick and maybe work well for my HP exhaust manifolds?
Usually, it's the cast iron exhaust manifold that warps, not the cyl head surface they touch. Using one of the quality "black" header gaskets (which usually are graphite-impregnated material with a wire mesh inside of them) will work, even if the warped manifold is surfaced on the cyl head side. MUCH better header gaskets, than the "white" gaskets that used to come with many pair of headers! But they also cost more.
When we changed the engine in my '77 Camaro (orig 305) to a 350 with 1968 Corvette aluminum heads, we used such a "black" header gasket with the factory cart iron exhaust manifolds. Been on there well past 200K miles, now. No issues at all.
With respect to the posted link, how do we know the compressed thickness of the gaskets pictured? Just curious.
Thanks for posting that link,
