Ford 2300cc Exhaust Gasket

The Ford 2300cc Exhaust Gasket by Schoenfeld (MPN: FG23) is a precision-engineered sealing component designed for high-performance exhaust header and manifold applications on Ford 2300 cubic centimeter engines. This gasket sits between the cylinder head and exhaust manifold, creating a critical seal that prevents exhaust gases from escaping prematurely and maintains proper scavenging efficiency. Whether you're building a street machine, preparing for competition, or restoring a classic Ford-powered vehicle, a quality exhaust gasket is non-negotiable for reliable long-term performance and emissions integrity.

Constructed with a steel core and graphite facing, the Ford 2300cc Exhaust Gasket features an oval port design measuring 1.420 x 1.600 inches, engineered to match the port geometry of Ford 2300 cylinder heads and headers. The steel core provides structural rigidity and dimensional stability under extreme temperature cycling, while the graphite facing creates a conformable sealing surface that accommodates minor port irregularities and surface finish variations. This dual-material construction resists blowout, maintains compression across repeated heat cycles, and handles the aggressive thermal and pressure conditions inherent to exhaust systems without degradation or permanent deformation.

Builders and mechanics working with Ford 2300 engines—including applications in vintage Mustangs, Pintos, Bobcats, and competition platforms—will find the Ford 2300cc Exhaust Gasket essential for any header or manifold installation or refresh. Proper installation requires clean, flat mating surfaces and correct torque specs to ensure full gasket compression and longevity. This single gasket is the ideal replacement for worn or damaged originals, offering OEM-equivalent performance at a direct-fit specification that eliminates guesswork during assembly.
