352-428 Ford R.A.C.E. Se

The 352-428 Ford R.A.C.E. Se gasket from FEL-PRO is a premium sealing solution engineered for classic Ford performance engines spanning the 352 to 428 cubic-inch displacement range. Built for enthusiasts and professional rebuilders who demand reliability during high-performance or racing applications, this gasket addresses the critical sealing challenges inherent to vintage Ford big-block powerplants. Whether you're restoring a factory muscle car or assembling a period-correct engine build, the R.A.C.E. series delivers the precision fit and durability required for consistent results.

FEL-PRO's R.A.C.E. (Racing, Aviation, Commercial, and Extreme duty) designation reflects proprietary gasket technology optimized for elevated cylinder pressures and thermal cycling typical of performance environments. The 352-428 application utilizes advanced elastomer and composite materials that resist fuel, oil, and coolant degradation while maintaining conformable sealing surfaces across engine block and cylinder head decking variations. This gasket's dimensional profile ensures proper compression and load distribution, minimizing blow-by risks and oil weepage—critical factors when managing vintage block tolerances and nonstandard machine work.

Ideal for 352, 390, 406, 410, 427, and 428 cubic-inch Ford engines commonly found in Fairlanes, Torinos, Mustangs, and full-size trucks, this gasket simplifies mid-block reassembly and reduces the likelihood of post-rebuild coolant leaks or compression loss. Professional engine shops and dedicated restorers rely on FEL-PRO's OEM-equivalent precision to minimize rework and ensure long-term seal integrity. Installation is straightforward with standard hand tools; careful surface preparation and torque sequencing following Ford specifications guarantee optimal performance and longevity in both street and competition duty.
