If using the 17046/48 style gasket I recommend spraying the gasket with Hi-Tack. It seems to help with sealing the lower water passages and there's less seepage down the side of the block.

Still no answer?
Called cometic, they said the same gasket is used on all 3 gen of big blocks with no modifications, I don't see how that can be
Also checked the head contact at fire ring, Good tip.Thanks

Thanks
But still not sure if you have to drill holes in block or not? as described by fel pro
All gaskets I find have either one hole or two holes in the end of the gasket for the mark IV
All new gaskets have holes between the cylinders under the head bolts where they tell you to make the hole
My old gaskets had two holes on the end and No holes under the head bolts between the cyl.
My best guess is to make the holes in the block as described by fel pro. Hope this is not a mistake

drilling of the 3 lower holes is for really early blocks.very noticeable when the head gaskets are put on.
