So I should be getting my teksid block ready to go from the machine shop in about 1 - 2 weeks. I have been looking to pick up parts with all the savings going on right now. I want to use fel-pro mls head gaskets for the build. But it is hard to know what will work. There are lots of fel-pro part numbers for 4.6 mls gaskets. The different part numbers I see are:
03/04 Cobra: 26222 PT / 26187 PT
03/04 mach 1 (should be same head as 03/04 cobra): 26217 PT / 26188 PT
96-98 Cobra (since teksid block): 9792 PT-2 / 9790 PT-2
Lincoln Mark VIII (since teksid block): 9792 PT-2 / 9790 PT-2
Engine is bored to 3.5720, but I believe these gaskets are 3.6 bore.
Also I don't know if there is any difference in compressed thickness.
Ideally I would be able to use the 03/04 Cobra VIN Y gaskets with the teksid block. But no clear info on which way to go here. Also I don't have the head cooling mod on the back, but I assume the gasket for 4v heads with Teksid does not matter as far as cooling passages.
Thanks.
