Unless you plan on triple-checking your head and block flatness for perfection, don't use the 1035.
he says it all right here. the 1035 is a "better" gasket, but requires closer tolerances to be used to its potential. it is less forgiving, and  on an undecked block/head it may be more pr0ne to failure.

Oh, I only have 10K miles on the decking on the block and 500 miles on the decking on the head. I should be OK :hick:

I could of redone the piping to cover it up but I like it sticking out of the hood makes it look intresting. And as for hoodless I wish I could do it but I dont know if its legal.

..... liked the idea and good work but im not sure on it. As for hoodless being legal. thing about all the old phone booth cars, no hoods. its just that you are going to open it up to the weather
