[Land-speed] Gasket Materials...

Doc
See if you can find a Ford application for Ford 5.0L that used gaskets, or 
if svo has a reasonable one.
I don't know about the v8, but in the 80's we did a gasket for the 2.3 when 
it was in Aerostar,.  The engine had a tubular exhaust manifold. (weight 
savings, not perf.) and needed a gasket.
The gasket we did actually had a ss bore grommet at the port.  It would work 
well I think for a turbo application.
As for me, down the line when I go back to the boosted engine, Helicoflex is 
going to do a metallic "O" ring to fit the square Esslinger port.
Before inventing, see if you can buy it for reasonable money.
