Getting my setup all ready for a GT40 3 bar explorer head swap. Looking at a Felpro gasket set for the 93 Cobra. I am running the 93 cobra intake. Will the head gaskets work with the larger 1/2" bolt holes? (Don't 93 gt40's have 7/16 bolts?) Reusing my stock bolts, so will be the smaller 7/16" bolts compared to the 1/2" head holes.

1st spend the 40 bucks or so and buy new head bolts. after you stretch the stock bolts you wont get them torqued correctly

2nd the stock block uses a 7/16" head bolts
