Shelby CSX-VNT
I am looking for a gasket for my grandfathers Shelby CSX-VNT.
We recently had to take apart the engine because he blew the head gasket.
In taking apart the engine we had to take off a lot more to get at the header.
Some how we lost the high temp gasket for the turbo.
The part that attaches the turbo to the engine was a Shelby specific design and we cant find a new gasket anywhere that works.
I am branching out here to see if anyone knows where about i might be able to get one.

Next time i get over there i will take a picture of it.
I am trying to find a specific diagram that shows it.
It has something to do with the Chrysler engine and the VNT turbo from Garrett.
A good analogy of this part that we need a gasket for it like a converter that makes a round peg fit in a triangle shape hole.

I doubt that variable nozzle turbo, ergo the VNT designation, is easy to find parts for these days. A nearly 25 year old Garrett turbo on a car that they only made 500 examples (plus two prototypes). Good luck, that's a rare and really cool car you have. Especially if the VNT turbo system is still intact!
