Looks like the Cometic gaskets are for '48 and earlier only (at least at Jeg's). And those prices are each, not a set. I'm waiting to see what the shims cost. If they're cheap enough, I may try them first.

EDIT : I just looked at the Cometic website. Looks like they only make them for the earlier flatheads. I can't be sure though, because the first three entries that showed up under "Flathead Ford" were for a late model Dodge 4 cylinder; the have obvious incorrect pictures with some of the listings as well. I guess I'll have to call them. I'm still put off by the price, though.
