you'll have to see if someone makes on aftermarket wise if you have a rope seal in it can be converted to a two piece rubber seal and it will go right in where the rope seal does. but the one piece seals have their own adapter to hold them in which was done in all 86 models along with high rail heads to stop the valve cover leaks. the two piece rubber seals are ok to use in that engine with no problems.
