    Can Head gaskets be reused ?

    I have an engine here in my garage that I bolted a set of heads on. The engine was never finished being built and has never been run. I decided I want to keep the heads from it for another car I just bought. Can I reuse the head gaskets from the engine that was never run ?

    Need Fuel System Suggestions. Going 347 Carb'd in 89 5.0
