What Fel Pro gasket number works best for the 520 t SBC heads?I see some of their numbers look pretty big.Thanks .The Jr Stocker/Q/SA 265 is going together.

100 was the old Mr Gasket number. Might be able to find a cross reference.

Fel Pro says their number 1256 is a mr gasket 100 crossover. 100 still available from Holley/ MrGasket

1245 felpro is the thicker gasket, with the angle milling of the heads and intake they raise the intake up for a better shot at the intake valve ?? Had to do some trimming on my SS 520s. Tom

The 100s were about a perfect fit on the stock 520s on my old Jr Stockers. I would expect some trimming on SS heads.

The 100s will work. We had Cometic make some,small port thick ones for us a long time ago and they were perfect. I doubt if they have a part number for them. Might be able to look them up under our name. We haven’t run 283s in awhile, but I know Cometic will also make what you need if you send them the sizes or a trace of the intake
