Im trying to get a nice engine gasket set but I cant figure out which one I need.

Here are my specs

1988 block bored out 0.030 over.
TFS twisted wedge heads
CARBED weiand stealth intake
bbk longtubes
stock oil pan


Is this the right kit?

Does anyone know which headgaskets are included in this kit?

Im just getting into the whole stroker thing too. that is a great gasket kit and those are felpro head gaskets. im almost positive that they are felpro 1011's in that kit which are goot all the way up to a 351 windsor. someone will be able to clarify soon so dont mark my word

to answer your question about the head gaskets, yes, there different for a .030 over bore... your new bore is a 4.030...

ya and summit doesnt specify anything about the size of the bore on any of those gasket sets. Looks like Im going to have to send them an email to figure out if I can get the gasket kit with the 4.030" bore

I dont think you need different head gaskets at 030 over on the bores.

I have installed Felpros and Victors on two 30 over 302 engines and never worried about it.

I know the FP 1011s and their 97xx stock replacement set fits find.

Put some Victors on a 40 over motor Monday and they seem to be fine.

The chamber seal should be ok for std to 30 over.
