Blown head gaskets
I'm looking for some advice! I have a 545CI BBF in my '67 GTA fastback. Made about 10 passes on it, two blown headgaskets, the second of which resulted in a half track encounter with the wall, after pressurizing the cooling system and spraying water under the tires!
Anyway, I am in the process of rebuilding and wonder if I would be better served with copper gaskets.
The motor is fresh. 545 SCAT stroker kit, 13.5:1 compression, stock cast iron heads (ported), running a 1050 Dominator (stock airbleeds, stock jets), temperature ran in the 200-205 degree range on track.
As a result of the crash I have had to front clip this thing and don't want to go through that again.
All advice, sympathy, laughter, criticism appreciated!

It would be nice if this up and down crap would cease.
