In reading the discription on the Graph Tite gaskets it says this,,,

I would contact them BEFORE buying,,,,

Note: For lower volume applications where tooling costs are prohibitive, BESTgasket may also use head gaskets from other manufacturers or NOS head gaskets for the really old engines.

Notice that the gasket number ends in a G. They state that gaskets with a G suffix are the Kevlar gaskets, so I would assume it is one of their own gaskets.

Show Cars is listed as selling their gaskets. Should email them and get the compressed thickness and install instructions. Anybody use Kevlar® gaskets on any engine?
