        Fel-Pro 1003 is what I would use.

          I would use a mls gasket such as the 1142.
          My sarcasm is a pre-emptive strike to your stupidity!!

            FP1043 will give you more compression with that bore

              The MLS gaskets work great AS LONG AS THE BLOCK IS SMOOTH! LOL That block I got burnt on last year wouldn't seal with them. Used the SuperSeal from Mr.Gasket. Stuck like glue! Too bad for the hidden crack beside the cam!

              Oh and I found your door!
