Default Doug's Headers d3330: Gasket Options

Hey, I got a deal on a set of these and put them on my 87 'l98. Yeah, they are for LT1 - but hey, you can put LT1 manifolds on an L98 right? So I thought I'd try it. Anyone else do this and been able to get them to seal to the block? I've tried both LT1 and L98 header gaskets so far. Going to try some dead soft aluminum ones next. Tried copper - that was a bad mistake. Look closely - you can see a header - lol.

Sure is a funny looking C3.
That said there is a current thread running on best header gaskets. Well, here on the C3 forum anyway.
