Does anyone know of a specific gasket that will work? We have tried the "dry" mounting and seem to still have a small leak, we did surface both mating surfaces prior to assembly. Will any of the FE exhaust gaskets work? Is there one that we can buy and modify to work for our application?

Car info: 1969 Mustang Mach 1 428 CJ C6 auto

Thanks in advance for any info.

I don't believe any other FE applications will work on CJ's. The GT gaskets lack the two middle, bottom holes and the std FE's don't have the staggered bolt pattern unique to the GT's and CJ's. I'd suggest a copper or aluminum header gasket for a CJ.
