Gasket for any old 327 will work and they're as common and as inexpensive as dirt. Every small block Chevy from about 1955-198something had them

You must not have read through the tread the answer is here. In a nut shell.. SBC gen I engines basically had two designs the perimeter bolt style(bolt on the outside) and the center bolt. As far as i know the gaskets are the same dimensions but the perimeter bolt style has holes in it. Just go to the parts store an tell them you need perimeter bolt gaskets. I recommend getting the silicone gaskets.

I just put those heads on my car. I Wish i had know about the valve cover issue before. I got rid of My roller rockers because they didn't fit.
What Exhaust are you going with?
What is the rest of your combo?
