Re: 305 parts on 283

I had troubles with Fel-Pro which struck me as odd because they've always worked well in the past. Then I took it to my machinist as i was questioning my own installation. Then, he had trouble with Fel-Pro same as me, so he installed Victor Reintz , performed a leak down test for confirmation, and all was a-o.k.. He and I were both left scratching our heads as to why, but since the problem was solved we both just kinda said " Whatever, I guess Victor Reitz head gaskets are better for putting 416 heads on a 283.." It still makes no sense to me., but like I said, "whatever" , the problem is solved. The part # for, the Victors was 95-3033VR.. However, that was for the full top end set I believe.
