Not an expert on this but the 16 bolt heads were used to accomodate special headers/manifolds that would fit better in the Mustang/Cougar engine bays. Not all 16 bolt holes were used, just available for use when needed.

The sixteen bolt heads have the stagered pattern and a vertical pattern. You can use either the 8 staggered holes or the 8 vertical holes. Nobody uses all 16 holes. If memory serves, and it doesn't some times, the vertical holes are the same as the standard heads. Get a stock gasket and see if it fits.

Check with ford powertrain. www.fordpowertrain.com. The headers I got from them had all 16 holes.

what he said.. FPA can hook you up...Won't be cheap, but they will be very nice quality. There are 2 holes on each side that cannot be used because of the bend in the pipes, but all the others line up great. They seal great.
