Well, last year I planned going forced induction and the lack of multi-layered steel head gaskets were non existant!
So, I went out my way and sent a pair of felpros to John at Gaskets-To-Go and he made me a set no questions asked unlike other so called "custom headgasket" companies..
There were some members interested so I also did a groupbuy, which didnt go as expected but still was successful :beers2:

If there's still any interest i'd be willing to do another run
would also like to do a one gasket fits all type of deal (rover/215/300/340/350) i'd just have to buy the felpros and send them in so he can implement the variations into one gasket
the group buy will most likely be setup for .030 overbore again and .40 thick.. but you may get different bores/thickness if you desire(will come out cheaper too)
heres some pics of my mls gasket

clipping from jim blackwood:
emailed John, he said that if you guys wanted to authorize it, it sounded like it would be possible to make one gasket that would work for all of the 350, 340 and 300 engines by elongating the 4 center pushrod holes and possibly bumping out the cylinder hole 1/16" at the intake valve.
that sounds like a good idea for a one gasket fits all..just need to know if theres any mods to do to make it work for the buick 215/rover variants and we'd be golden
