The gasket kit for the 289 is the same for the hi-pos right?

If there is any different what would they be? Water pump?

Also, what is a decent kit? Is the Fel Pro overhaul kit for $60 a good choice. Includes

Set includes the following gaskets:

Cylinder head - Part # 8548PT2
Distributor
Exhaust manifold
Fuel pump
Intake Manifold
Oil pan - Cork
Oil Pump
Rear main seal
Timing cover gasket & seal
Valve stem seals
Valve cover - Cork
Water pump
Water

 

Any opinions?

 

Fel-Pro gaskets are good stuff but get a set of rubber valve cover and oil pan gaskets instead of that cork crap.

 

yeah a 1 piece oil pan gasket is a must

 

Depends- I use good quality cork gaskets on my 289HP. Rubber gaskets just won't seal properly on 45 year old steel valve covers, so I glue a set of cork gaskets to the covers with Permatex. The current set has been off and on at least 4 times, still no leaks, which is typical. Normally, they last until it get careless and damage one.

 

Ok thanks for the input!
