Just buy a 1400 gasket set, they are exactly the same.

Most 1400 gasket sets are 1600 ones anyway.

claimed to be better....never seen anyone with a high powered small block use one though and i know martin bowyer who builds quite alot of them doesnt use them simply because you cant get an inlet manifold for them to run tbs etc.

there are some development dth bodies for the xel being tested at moment though

rich - you got pics of this ported head?
