Head gasket question?

Hey guys.

Working on the new super coupe motor I got from ken Seeger's, everything looks almost new! So far so good.

However rockauto have sent me a gasket set for an 88 non SC V6.

There are a few gaskets I can use no problems however I'm concerned that the head gaskets will not hold up to the abuse of the blower, seeing as they aren't up to the task on a non SC V6.

Are they the same gasket? Not just shape, materials etc.

Good morning

I have not used VICTOR RIENZ but both NA and Supercharged 3.8L engine head gaskets are a "nitroseal" product containing graphite material. VICTOR RIENZ gets good reviews in forums I visited. The exception is some Ford Super Duty sites. Dave XR7 of Super Coupe Unlimited might have more to say comparing VICTOR RIENZ and FEL-PRO head gaskets.
