Iron head gasket question

04-16-2005, 08:38 PM

i'll be doing a gen3 top end swap soon and i'm gonna get the iron head gaskets and i was just wondering what kind of car i would order the head gaskets for. Could i just order them for 1984 2.8 or do they have to be for a 3.1 that has iron heads?

RE: Iron head gasket question

all the iron head gaskets are the same. any 2.8l 80-86 will work for you.

yeah, what is the bore for the 3.4 gaskets anyways?, it would be cool if that was posted in the performance section of the motors on the site
