Default Head Gasket??

Well i plan on doing the Hughes plenum but figured when i get to that i should just do head gaskets while i'm in there so it would be one less thing to worry about...

So anybody kno of a good/better brand head gasket and where to order??
thanks

P.S. i was thinking about a new ring set too but i will worry about if need be..

IMO that's going a bit far. I personally wouldn't want to tackle that unless absolutely necessary. I always use fel-pro gaskets.

True lol. Go ahead and put some new heads on it. A set of 2.02 iron rams would be sweet.

You can get better than stock replacement heads for around 270 each from clearwater cylinder head in florida, or EQ as well. (also in florida as I recall.)

If interested I have a set of gaskets. Brand new still in the wrappers. I bought them then had to have the cylinders bored. Posted them on here a while back but nobody bought them. I have no use for them, I'll give ya a deal on them
