You can get a piece of gasket material from any parts store.. Discount, Advance, Pepboys, Autozone.. Whatever your flavor is.. And all you have to do is cut it to size...
For the block Exhaust manifold gasket, yes.. All you need is a stock Gasket.. Use Scotch tape to tape the gasket to the header when installing.. The tape will burn off, and you don't have to worry about the gasket falling off when you install it...
Hope this helps

NO! smile.gif
You have purchased a cork / organic gasket; you need a metal gasket. EGT temps can hit 1500F or higher at full throttle, they usually settle around 800F while cruising, and sit around 400-500F at idle.
Most places will have metal exhaust gaskets, you need one of those smile.gif

This is a bit off topic but I was wondering if you purchased those headers off ebay. I'm thinking about purchasing a set. Are those headers 4 to 1 or 4-2-1? I want the 4 to 1 headers because their best siutable for manual transmissions. The reason I ask is that when you click on the site it says for 4 to 1 but in brackets it says 4-2-1. If anyone knows anything about this please let me know smile.gif
