Hey everyone, in the process of buying parts to freshen up my 302 motor (will remain 302, not getting a .030 over). The engine is gonna be turbo'd so I wanna put good head gaskets on. I'd like to go with cometic, I hear good things about them. I'm on the site now trying to figure which ones i'm supposed to use. Should I be getting 289/302/351W Non SVO 4.030 dia bore gaskets?

According to Cometic, the gasket size needs to be at least .020 larger than the engine bore size. If your staying with the stock 4.00 bore than yes, you would need the 4.030.

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
