Where may I locate a wet sump, race pan and a copper head gasket for my Jimmy 302 ? Jimmy is in a Belly Tanker which I will run at Bonneville 2012. Thanks.....

I can send you pictures of what I had built. I run a single stage Barnes belt drive pump and the pan holds 11 Qt's. Just send me an E-mail I've got them in a file.....I've never seen one manufactured and they are best made from a pan 302 rails with the stock welded stiffner.

Opps. Personally I have very poor luck with copper head gaskets. Water sealing is the problem no matter what product I used. Hussey will make them in any thickness you want.
Best Gaskets makes a 302 which is nice and I am currently using. If you want a large bore I would contact Don Ferguson Jr. @ Wilmington Forge as he is a supplier of Best. He has run a very high % of nitro with these and they hold just fine. Good Luck

I thought I was told you were going to meet Flattop Bob out there this year. Maybe next tear will be a good time to go.
Best Gaskets really are the best I've found. The rear seal and the valve cover gasket are great. Beater

Beater Hello Eh : I did meet Bob out in Wendover as we hung out most of the time with his great friend, Keith. I was there, just without the Bely Tanker. "Best Gasket" do not make a 0.150 over gasket for the Jimmy, 0/140 is their max....

Here are a couple of sources. The first is a guy named Lani that I bought a 4 Cylinder Chevy copper gasket from. 623 561-8399 or email at gasketman@cox.net The other is in Lubbock,Texas. I bet Bob has friends there who would help you if needed. LINK Good Luck, Tom

This is interesting. They were at Bonneville this year and had to quit early because of a blown head gasket. I hope it wasn't from our advise.
