I am going to install factory 302 rebuilt heads on my 68 block. Running flat top pistons, 4bbl carb, compression should be about 10:1 street driving, no racing usage. What brand / type of head gaskets should I be using with this install? Is it best to get a kit, or buy individual gaskets intake exhaust etc, to get the best quality available? Thanks for your help.

The Felpro stock type expanded graphites are tough to beat.
