Head gaskets
 
I have a 502/540,,,what is the fel pro part number for this? Had the heads totally reworked. Thanks Chris J.

Fel-Pro 17048 is a great gasket for your application.

That gasket works great as long as you're still running a 4.500 bore. You can save yourself $30-$40 by ordering #1047. It's the automotive equivalent and comes in a different wrapper but it's identical and has the 17048# stamped right on the gasket.

Bonus! Good info.

I just tore a couple of gen 6 502's apart and they have the 17048 gaskets, so I went on Summit's web site and the 17048 is a dollar cheaper than the 1047....I know this thread is two years old, someone must of tipped them off.

What's the difference between the 17042 and 17048? Std bore 502.

the 17042 is for a 4.370 bore 454.... and the 17048 up to a 4.540 bore 502 or 540 depending on rod length and stroke...........that's how Summit has them listed

That was my thought, and thanks for clarifying.
