See what the fire ring material is and what the compressed thickness is. Also check the bore diameter of the gasket.

I used these and Im running 125 dry shot gt40p heads i havent had any problems yet......

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=350029458179

I plan on building a 347 and I will use these agian!!!!!

they were way cheaper than the other ones I was looking at I was a little worried you know "you get what you pay for" but these have worked great! I have over revved a few times and i shift at 6200.
Good luck man

Customer SN95 302 with Performer heads and a little boost...... didn't survive one full pass at the the track. Just installed Fel-Pro 9333's and ARP head studs after getting the heads "mill checked" (they only needed a .004" milling cleanup) for flatness. We'll see how it does in about a week, after we do some additional "TwEECing".......
