Find someone with a plasma cutter or a water jet, and use the original head gasket as a template to cut out about six layers of .040" or maybe .060" sheet copper. The machine setup time will be the same as making only one. and you'll have a supply of replacements. That's what we did on the blower equipped "426" hemi we ran on the truck pull circuit (which was actually 547 cubic inches). Jerry
