Okay, there are like 70 different styles of 5.0 head gaskets out there. I am getting ready to buy a set for my 1988 5.0 rebuild. I will most likely be using studs with stock heads. Which gaskets will work out the best for this project?

i would use mr.gasket or fel-pro but everyone has there preferences.i would post a link but you need to have the machine shop tell you what bore size gasket you need. they will tell you this info.they will determine if your block has already been bored and if it needs boring they will give you the specs....

After wading through websites this afternoon, I am leaning towards the FelPro Performance number 1152 gaskets.
