Help finding an Upper Gasket Kit for SR

[Gjohnson7]

Hey guys, does anyone know where I can pick up an upper gasket kit for a Redtop? I've been searching for a while and can only come up with complete engine rebuild gasket kits. I only need the upper kit.

This is what I'm looking for.

I called courtsey parts but this kit has been on back order since January. They have no idea when they will receive any. Thanks

Anyone?????????

Would not a USDM SR gasket kit work?
Excepting, of course, the head gasket, which you should probably get an "upgrade" in, if your building it.

I'm not sure if the USDM SR gasket kit would work. I've heard that even the valve stem seals are not a direct swap. Apparently the intake ones can be used, but the exhaust side uses the KA Dohc seals.

Can anyone shed some light on this.

Hey guys. I have another quick question, just incase they send me the wrong kit. Online it said that they only had the S14 kit available, but when I spoke to one of the sales reps he told me to just request the S13 kit in the comments section, becasue it's not an option on the website.

If they send me the S14 headgasket kit by accident, can it be used on the S13. I haven't messed with a black top before, but with the exception of the Slant at the back of Black top head everything else seems to be the same. Would it be useable?
