Sold individually / EachThis Fel-Pro Performance Head Gasket Part Number 1018 fits Ford V8 Big Block 429 (except Boss) and 460 engines with production based heads with no steam holes on the gasket. Performance engines often have higher compression ratios and special cam timing. They also operate at higher RPM. In addition, they may be supercharged, turbocharged or use nitrous oxide. These conditions will increase the cylinder pressure and stress on the cylinder head gasket.In addition to high combustion pressures, performance engines often have a large amount of cylinder head movement. Racing and street performance engines develop much higher horsepower than their passenger car counterparts. For example, a Chevrolet 350 (5.7L) V8 racing engine can develop between 600-1000 horsepower, compared to 180-385 horsepower for passenger car and light truck applications.On top of that, peak torque may occur at 5600 RPM for a typical racing engine compared to 3500 RPM for the same engine in a passenger car. These factors combined create a brutally tough environment for the head gasket. FEL-PRO Performance Head Gaskets incorporate special features to accommodate these conditions.The key difference between regular FEL-PRO PermaTorque head gaskets and FEL-PRO Buick Performance PermaTorque Head Gaskets is a wire ring combustion seal inserted inside the stainless steel armor of FEL-PRO Performance Head Gaskets. The wire ring design provides highly concentrated sealing around the combustion chamber.The wire ring helps concentrate the sealing load around the combustion chamber. Because of the wire ring, the combustion seal is squeezed by the head and block with a force about three times as great as standard head gaskets with a conventional armor and no wire
