I posted this in another section and just seeing if you guys have found a fix for the head gasket issues associated with the boss big bore blocks, or a different kind of gasket to use with it, I'm thinking about switching to that block or maybe a teksid. I'm shooting for 700 hp to the wheels on e85 with a 2.3 whipple kooks 1 7/8 headers full 3 in exhaust and comp stage 3 cams, I have plans for a 2.9 in the future but I'll probably never see 800 hp. What are your guys thoughts on the teksid? And is there a fix for the boss block? It would be nice to have some extra cubes. Thanks guys.

my engine builder has not ran into any problems the head gasket has to be the right specs and the heads studs need to be torqued down to specs.

How long have you had yours going for? I see you have a 5.3 in your Sig. And who built it? Also how much boost/compression are you running? And are you on e85 or pump?
