Head Gasket question

[red85]

I am now getting down to the nitty gritty parts on my swap. I have found a few complete gasket sets for my 2.3 but I am concerned about the head gasket. Should I put out the extra $$ for a specific head gasket or will the one in the Ranger 2.3 gasket set work just fine?

Here's the setup:

1994 Ranger 2.3
1988 Turbo Coupe pistons
1988 TC IC
1986 Merkur turbo
E6 ported
36# injectors
LA3
1994 Explorer rad
255 lph fuel pump

Don't bother, the 8993 will hold plenty.

I ran 28 psi from a holset with spikes above 30 and it held when the cylinder wall let go.

I currently run a 1035, but only because I got it new at a swap meet for $20, as opposed to the regular $60.

Thanks Davis. Much appreciated
