Early Lightnings do not, but I think it was '01 when they made the change and Yes it is a 4 layer, riveted together gasket just like a Cometic and they may be made by them, I don't know for sure.
Cometic lists there 4V gaskets at .030 thickness, I think the Lightning gasket is around .040.

As for me, you say you have a nine second lightning, since I am still a big fan of the Gen 1s I asked you to post pics of it or even your nine second time slip. You havent yet! Do you have one?? Or are you just one of those internet wannabes??
Since you are interested in the opening of the 3.3 yes the rear entry blower makes approx. 26 HP more than the radial style top entry. The rear entry is a more difficult package for the Lightning, the way you have to swing the inlet around will make it extremly difficult to get to the last 2 spark plugs. Yes it will fit a Holley 4 Barrell on top of it. Since these blowers were designed for extreme duty for off shore power boat racing. Kind of like the Kenne Bell which is the Opcon blower which was originally designed to pressurize air plane cabins.
Now show me some pics of you badass gen 1

Here we go again...another thread heading straight down the shyter!
Although that was kind of funny! :santa:
The 4 bbl. intake seemed like a legitimate question to me...I suppose there's more than one way to skin a cat. I'm sure some of this stems from pictures of the infamous 166 and the 4V motor with the Whipple just sitting in the intake valley from a few years ago.
And for the record, there's a whole lot of rear entry going on in this thread!

I know Sal held the title for a LONG time, then the guy in California, then Johnny, then Johnny beat it again.
To say that JDM does the best work hands down is a little of an overstatement. Personally I think FORD does the best work hands down, Hell they've produced over 20,000 lightnings.

I don't think JDM has EVER had the quickest truck though. If they have it's been quite a few years.

JDM does the best mod work on a truck, hands down among let's say the top 3. PSP, JDM, JLP... I would put it in this order, JDM first, then PSP Sal is good, and then @(*$)%&**(%)#*#*& JLP
