Best performing non offset Small block Mopar heads

I think I remember @Brian Hafliger mentioning a gasket he uses that had a taller roof for their ported heads. I wonder if those would line up better with these BPE heads, if he'll sell those gaskets by themselves.

I was going to say SCE but I don't see anything they offer with a "P" in the part number. That post was also from several years ago so those particular gaskets he was referring to may not even exist any more. In their current catalog they list a set that are 2.25" x 2.4" but they are for "ported" Magnum heads so unless I'm wrong I don't believe they would work on standard LA heads. 2.25" wide also seems like a misprint, I'm guessing they are 1.25".

I researched this topic a bunch and didn't find anything that would work. The ports on the BP heads are 2.5" tall, no one that I'm aware of makes a gasket with an opening anywhere near that tall as most intake gaskets are 2.25-2.27" high. Even the raised port type openings are not that tall.

I even called Superformance and asked him about it. He said they'd have to come up with new tooling which is not happening, not enough sets of these heads out there to justify that cost.

So we cut.
