i am getting ready to reassymble my engine and i need to get head gaskets. the block has been bored .030, and i am wondering if i should get the head gaskets that are made for that or if a stock bore gasket will work. i only ask because i can get a compleat engine rebuild set with head gaskets for less than i can get one .030 head gasket. wtf

The stock replacement gasket should have a 4.08-4.10" hole....

Felpro 8548pt2 is stock replacement, Felpro 9333 would be an upgrade, Felpro 1101-1 or 1101-2 wpuld be the performance gasket

Yes those are head gaskets part numbers. I believe my local Advance Auto has all of those in stock. I would look there before ordering through the mail, save yourself on some shipping.

Use the 9333pt1's.
Don't forget you need arp head bolts too.
