I use victor reinz to build all my sbc's, and they hold up fantastic. Fel pro is pretty bitchin too, never had any problems with them, so you cant go wrong there.

Detroit gasket is a good company also. They are a little hard to find but they cost about 50% of what Fel-Pro does.
You'll only find them at shops that rebuild lots of engines......

Most of the time its not gasket failure it installer failure.
Alot of good gasket companies out there, but most people are gonna say fel-pro. Its the most common and yes they are good.

I've used Fel-Pro w/ no problems. Unless your boosting or spraying, you shouldn't need any specialty gaskets.
