camaroanderas,
Looks like some good times out there in the land of the Sweeds. I think it's so cool to see you guys into American muscle cars and your car is certainly without a doubt very very sweet. Also I & I'm sure all the guys here appreciate you sharing the pyramid ring seal design. Although it had to be explained a hundred times, your patience in doing so was also much appreciated. Look forward to seeing the progresses you make with your car. And thanks for posting the videos!!!

more info please... So can this be done to an Alum block like a ls1/2/3? Is this ok for daily driving? Does anyone know of an engine builder in the US that's capable of performing the work? I would prefer HKE.

Nice update! You don´t have to machine your block. We have ordered gaskets with built in cutting rings. In a couple of weeks we have them in: 4.0" , 4.030" , and 4.060" bore.
It´s the same gasket that people use on 4 cyl 1000 hp engines.

so they will cut in both directions? so the block and heads will need to be decked every few times the heads are pulled? if the ls9 gaskets don't hold i will probably go this route.

They don´t cut into the block. It´s a flat surface towards the block. You need to machine the heads every 2-3 times you pull them off.
Price isn´t set yet. I will post pictures and price when i recive them.

......................no more machining the block.....no more receiver groove and no more relief groove to the exterior of the block from the chamber.........
I'm reading a simple "pyramid gasket" that cuts only the head is going to be used to yield similar ~1300 fwhp results on a 6.0 ???
Can't wait for pics/update !
