ok so im going to be ordering a 347 shortblock from woody at ford strokers very soon. just have a question about head gaskets first. the motor is gunna be a daily driver high compression motor. idk if i should go with a cometic or a standard fel pro gasket. if cometic does the block or heads require any special machining?

No boost, NA motor? Use a fel pro 1011 as this is the gasket I will be using when honing the block with a torque plate.

so the 1011-1 or the 1011-2. i got a set of performer rpm heads that were milled flat. looking to get sumwhere around 10:5:1 compression.

I use the 1011-2 on my 347 from woody and I use 100 shot on top of that, so far no issue

i would get cometics if you have the money.. its like buying insurance. but if there is no boost involved then i guess felpro would work

I have only been using the 1011 and 9333 for 20 years, so ya maybe it will work.

you started building engines/working on them at 12-13 years of age????

woodsy

Small Block chevy of all things and a buick 455 in a Stage 1 GS clone, those were the very first 2 I actually laid a wrench to. Its all downhill after that

and now your a ford man!!!!!

I was 9 years old if memory serves me right, with my uncle, die hard chevy side of the family and my dads side is ford. Anywho, to the OP, a 101 and 9333 will handle more than your ever going to subject the engine to in this lifetime.
