Threw another club I belong to I might be able to provide a contact at a place
that can make just about any gasket (head, exhaust, intake, water pump) you
might need.

I am reaching out to them.

Let me know if anyone is interested and I will blast an email to this club

Sincerely
Chris

PS. I have spit parts for sale cheap!  Ask and you might be surprise send what
I have.
