- Excellent Free-Flowing Seal
The Edelbrock Part #7229 exhaust gasket set is specifically engineered for classic Ford FE V8 engines ranging from 390 to 428 cubic inches, produced between 1958 and 1976. Crafted with EnCore HTX-900 material, these gaskets feature a high-density non-asbestos fiber and metal core composite, ensuring durability and reliable sealing. The construction includes two graphite-coated, heat-resistant fiber sheets mechanically and chemically fused to an expanded steel core, providing excellent heat resistance and load retention. This design ensures a high-quality seal on exhaust manifold and header applications, reducing exhaust leaks and improving engine performance. The gaskets incorporate a 50% recovery rate, allowing for expansion if header bolts lose torque, thus maintaining a tight seal over time. Featuring a port size of 1.40 inches by 2.04 inches, these gaskets are ideal for restoring or upgrading exhaust systems on vintage Ford FE engines, contributing to optimal airflow and engine efficiency. Compatible with models such as the 1968 Ford Thunderbird, 1967 Mercury Cougar, and other Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Edelbrock FE exhaust gasket set offers a precise fit and dependable performance. Designed for professional or DIY installation, these gaskets help ensure your exhaust system maintains proper seal and performance under high-heat conditions, extending your vehicle’s longevity and efficiency.
