Default Another header gasket question

I have SW LT headers and a Corsa cat back system patiently waiting in my garage to be installed into my '95 coupe. (Good thing they're patient, 'cause I'm not!) Now I need to get together the odds and ends I'll need before I start the project.

I'm thinking of going with Fel-pro gaskets (not set in stone, though) so I did a forum search and saw a lot of posts regarding the Fel-pro 1406 and the LT1. But I didn't find any comments at all about the 1470 (Summit, Jegs, etc. list the Fel-pro 1470 as LT1/LT4 specific.) Both are D-port, steel core laminate but the 1406 have a larger port size. So which is it for stock LT1 heads? Or is there something better out there all together?

I've also seen a few comments about Breslin header bolts. Kinda pricey, but are they worth it? Anyone out there using them have any comments?

Here's a bump for you!

I don't know about the Fel-Pros; however, I have had good luck with Percy's deadsoft aluminum header gaskets.

I know Exotic Muscle sells Fel-Pros for their LT1/4 applications. Call and ask Merle which ones are right...he will help.
