Default Need a used 4.2 V8 head gasket

Does anyone have an old head gasket from a 4.2 or 3.7 liter V8?

Both would be great, but I only need one and it doesn't matter which. I will of course paypal whatever the shipping cost + beer money for your trouble.

Thanks!

I am insanely curious as to what use a *used* head gasket would be... Art? Template? Something to prop under one corner of the table, to keep it from wobbling?!?!?

The head gasket itself would not be the artistic masterpiece, but template is more like it.

I am looking for a V8 block that could be adapted to use cylinder heads from a Kawasaki ZX14. The Audi 4.2/3.7 is the only motor I have found with narrow enough bore spacing to even be considered, but I am not about to drop a few hundred dollars to buy a block or even the ~$40 for a head gasket, to find my answer.

As you can imagine I am posting something similar on a Kawasaki forum.

Have anything for me?
