Default Header gasket needed SBC *HELP*

Hey all, i need your help!

My custom heads were supposed to come with gaskets but did not, and now as im trying to finish up installing the engine i need your help locating some gaskets that are hopefully common enough to be shelf items.

The gasket ID needs to be larger than 1.48 x 1.71 rectangle.

The closest match i can get to these are oval gaskets that are 1.50 x 1.75.

Why doesnt felpro offer a choice off looking up gaskets by application OR port type/size...

Thanks for the help!

I take it you already did the Summit Racing search feature under the "gaskets>header" category? One of the pull down windows on the left of the page has multiple port sizes & shapes.
