Anyone who says there ain't a HUGE chamber volume difference between the open chambered heads and these closed 302 chambers needs his eyes examined.

It means using one of these header style UltraSeal gaskets each time, lathered up with UltraCopper sealant, BUT that donut restricted flow, no question.

Pappy blew up the 78' Cordoba muffler (2 1/4) so I put in a 2 1/4 Hush Thrush forcing me to lengthen the pipe with the ID to OD extension pipe. Easy as pie.

No troubles saving and reusing the less than one year old two piece 78 Cordoba tailpipe in 2 1/4 instead of pea shooter 1 7/8

Thin layer of Ultra Copper on both sides of the TorquePlus intake gaskets. Torque them to 45 ft/lbs like normal. Retorque them several times in the first hours of running to prevent leaks, as they are twice as thick as normal.

TorquePlus intake gaskets atomize the air/fuel charge between the intake and the heads, into even finer droplets. It allowed me to re-tune the carb and ignition settings and got me better mileage and off idle throttle response and torque.

My old 360 2bbl Cordoba could never chirp a tire and was a hog on gas. The ONLY change I made was putting these gaskets on, no tuning at all. I backed it out of the driveway and laid 75 feet of rubber. Mileage was outstanding even before I started tu...

Another advantage these gaskets have is they are twice as thick as normal intake gaskets. If your intake is warped, no problem, as the extra thickness pretty much corrects that for free.

These gaskets are all about 0-4500 rpms. That's where they shine and add in torque and fuel efficiency. If you own a heavy, tall geared Chrysler small block and are itching for a mileage boost these are for you. Over 4500 rpms their benefits taper of...
