Help, please. Are they still available? And if so, where?

I have a couple old ones that have nearly as much mileage on'em as I do. I like'em, but don't remember where I got'em, and apparently am too research illiterate to find'em again.

I have not found them readily available. You have to really search around - eBay, NOS outlets, and such. The current average price is $30-40. Sometimes you get lucky and find them cheaper, but usually you'll find them over-priced. Using the composite ones over a steel one won't lower the compression enough to worry on most street engines, If you are really concerned about things, just have the head shaved (around .020) to make up for the thicker gaskets.

Thank you. That's pretty much what I managed to dig up as well.

I should have already looked into this. I met a guy that manufactures gaskets and he said they may have some old stock head gaskets. I sent him an email tonight. I'll let you know if he responds. Craig
