If that doesnt work the company is called diperk. Main british
parts people, give them your engine number and they can tell you
the age of your engine etc. Used them a lot when i was running
my 4.236s, helpful people!

I got a head gasket for mine (4.203) from the local tractor
parts place. There were a few variations, but their parts list
had accurate illustrations so we matched it easily by comparing
the original. IIRC the main differences were the coolant holes
towards the corners, but it was a few years back so I may be
misremembering.
While you have the engine out, it might be wise to replace the
oil seal at the rear of the crank. I wish I had because mine
leaks. I think it's a rope type seal so unlikely to be on top
form after 40+ years.
The other thing to watch when you're putting it all back
together, is that the manifold studs go through into the water
jacket so need PTFE tape or similar to seal them. Same with the
studs holding the triangular blanking plate things. They'll seep
if you fit them without some sort of sealing tape or goo.
Do let us know how you get on.

If you end up breaking it for parts, I'd be interested in the
injection pump.
