It's a special steel-woven gasket. It's made as such to withstand the high heat under the spacer. You can get them online; use Fel-Pro. Don't get the paper-thin junk.

If you can't find a new gasket and your original is in ok shape you can get the gasket material and cut your own. Mcmaster sells high temp gasket material like the original gasket is made of.

You can cross-reference the gasket part number through most any auto parts store website. It's not worth your time cutting one because you can get one if you look enough.

www.mcmaster.com pg. 3417 Extreme-Temperature Compressible Graphite Gaskets. (Takes 850 degrees which should be ok) Theres is some on the next page too. The gasket off my 302 is 1/16" thick and has a metal core.

Like FMC400 said your best off finding a precut gasket because it will be cheaper and cut better than you can make. But if your out of options get the material and make your own. You just have to make shure you cut the gasket cleanly and accurately which is more difficult with a metal core gasket.
