LT4 Heads
I bought a used set of LT4 heads and am having a valve job done and new springs before I install them. They had 118,000 +\- miles on them. Am thinking of using the stock GM gaskets unless someone has a better suggestion. Or anything else I haven't thought of yet.
Thanks
Jim

You mean reusing the stock GM head gaskets? Not a good idea.
I just did head gaskets on my LT-1 and I used the Fel-pro 1074. Looks nice and was recommended here by a few.

Stock LT1/4 Corvette gaskets .049"
Felpros LTx replacements .039"
Impala LT1 gaskets .029"
These are compressed thicknesses. I used the Impala gaskets, why not? Good for about .4 increase in CR over the factory gaskets, I'm told.
