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!
