Thanks for showing Toolman. I have taken apart a couple of 273s with factory head gaskets. Wish I kept a set. Do you know if there was any production of these gaskets for service or was it just 273/318 gaskets made?
No one that I know remakes the steel shim gaskets. NOS are the only choice if you have to have OEM. I heard Frank Mitchell had some nos ones but that was a few years ago. It might be worth a try there. I used the Mr Gasket composite ones on mine I think they were Mopar Performance brand at the time. Itt was the smallest bore and thinnest compressed thickness I could find. I bought them from Summit.
Here's a thread I started about the 273 gaskets. 273 Head Gaskets
I see Trick Flow/Cometic has some 4.040 small bore and .040 compressed gaskets. All the replacement gaskets will be 4" and larger unless you special order from Cometic. Or so it seems. DODGE 4.5L/273 Mopar small block LA - head gasket KEYWORD - Free Shipping on Orders Over $109 at Summit Racing
