I'm in dire need of a pair of Head Gaskets for my olds 1976, 260, 4,3, V8 engine. Cannot find in the net. Only from 1977 onwards available. Please help me with a link to a shop selling this online for intl. sale (Thailand). Thanks a lot

 

Here it is.

If you are sure your engine is a 260, and you are sure your car is a 76 this should still fit. A 260 is a 260 no matter what year it came out of.

 

Thanks a lot, but I'm in contact with summit racing, and they told me, that the '77 and '76 are not same, and they don't have this part for my '76. Maybe the holes for the bolts, or something like this, are not the same size and location...? Anyhow, why don't they put in the description beginning with '76? Why they start with '77?

 

I doubt Summit Racing is correct. They sent me 3 Moroso oil pans that all leaked. They have good pricing and fast service buy sometimes they screw things up.

 

Thanks, I just e-mailed summit racing and asked for a clarification of the matter. Hopefully, they don't screw it up again....
BTW, I can't find in any other shop an offer for head gaskets for my '76 engine. They all start with 1977. I've read some time ago, that my engine type was produced only 2 years (1975 and 1976) and spare part production is very rare, because not many engines were built... Hopefully it's not that way...

 

Now: How about this one "Fel-Pro 8497PT"?? It's for 1975 and 1976... Found it at:
