119-H1295SP5040S Is the PN on TR's website

They are 85.00 a piece, so 170 for the set.

Texas Speed does however have the 4.030 .040. Just give em a call, might as well get the right ones IMO!

hey man just give cometic gaskets a call and have the make the gaskets for the the exact bore size, i was needing a .040" thick gasket on a stock 5.3 bore and they made mine for me

EDIT: oops sorry just saw where derek said that texas speed had them!
