Never used them on a 7.3 but did on many VG3.0-3.3 Nissan turbo engines and many 1.5-1.6-1.8 D/B series Honda engines and they are great head gaskets.

I thought these might be interesting to try instead of the typical TA31 stuff on the plenums. I may give these a try on mine, not sure how a 10 bolt plenum gasket would work on an 8 bolt plenum though.

The only thing that i see with them thats annoying is the 2-3 month lead time before you get it.

Does anyone make a stud kit for the plenums? This make installing these and other options pretty easy

I thought about trying to do this as well. Shouldn't be hard to source something I don't think.
