On my OBX sidepipe headers I used Felpro header gaskets that match the port shape of the cylinder heads. Longer header bolts due to the thick flanges on the headers. Had to enlarge/elongate the second mounting hole on each header if you find that the gasket doesn't line up with all the holes.

Awesome! Gotta check the Edelbrock heads for the ex port shape,can't remember what they look like. Looking at those Stage 8 locking header fasteners,pricey are they needed? Mahalo's

1404 Fel Pro will cover about most sbc gaskets you find. Dont have to match the shape of the exh port just seal the gasket.
