I just checked Napaonline ... their online store lists the gasket ... also checked stock locally ... 3 on hand.

-edit- maybe some of the confusion has to do with parts of DANA (ie Clevite) being bought by Mahle ... have anyone noticed there are no more "Clevite" decals in the Nascar-mandated location just ahead of front wheels? ... now for 2008 mandated decals read "Mahle" ... same in all 3 top series. Victor Reinz was part of that same DANA group bought by Mahle ... I just checked, VR shifted to Mahle too. http://mahleclevite.com/p_lv_gaskets.asp

BTW ... Mr Gasket WAS owned by DANA ... now Mr G is a division of Prestolite Performance which is a div of Prestolite Wire LLC.

My NAPA store told me that all gaskets are being supplied by Fel-Pro now. I was upset to hear that. Hopefully the online is different.

Any 4.200" gaskets for 400+ci motor that are 26-28 thou ?

SCE-T11203 .032 I am finding conflicting information, self sealing(summit) or O-ring required (SCE web page). They also list a .021 that requires O-rings.

Online says material's "Nitroseal" ... that is (or was) VR trademark for graphite gaskets. If your napa don't have/can't get mahle clevite VR ... ask here:

Those are copper ... copper HG usually don't work out so well for street car.

I haven't found any thinner composition gaskets for sbc400 ... certainly not VR, FP or MrG ... I've looked ... no luck ... if someone finds please, please advise.

I ran copper on a street car for a few years and had no issues.
