Wide Block 262ci Head Gasket

StepUp

I need a new head gasket for my 262ci wide block. I’ve searched a couple of the customary Hudson vendors sites (Wildrick, 21 Century Hudson) both of which list 308 head gaskets but no 262s. Please don’t tell me 262s aren’t made anymore?? Has anyone successfully crossed this river recently?

Try this:  https://www.marxparts.com/hudson.htm?no_redirect=true#Hudson%206%20232-262%20All%20(except%20Hornet)%20Big%206%201951-54

I believe that it is a Best Gasket 721S.

Thank you for the info! I visited the site and note it can take up to 3-6 weeks to source. Amazing but I probably shouldn’t be surprised. Hopefully others chime in with some additions leads. 

I have a couple of new 308 gaskets but the bore 
dimensions are clearly different than the old crusty 262’s. Therefore I doubt they are interchangeable.

You can also check at Olson's Gaskets, it's where I bought my head gasket.

Dale Cooper and Olson's Gaskets are the two best places to get BestGaskets for me. If you go to Olson's and order over the phone, make sure you specify which kind of gasket you want (old style metal or the BestGasket kind).
