if you have any power adder go with cometics or simlaiar style u have to have a fairly fine finish on your block deck and head for them or chance of water leaking if no power adder any old headgasket would be fine..

Are those heads stock? A lot of guys say their all done by 4500rpms. I used a 454HO cam in my set up. Picked up about 6mph but also had the heads flowed.
