Felpro is usually a good brand, IIRC #1074 for an LT1..

IMO the victor reinz 5898 is a great low cost LT1 head gasket and you'll boost your compression a little with it too......






(its the impala head gasket) I use cometics on my vette 355 but cometic is a little pricy...... However, I've used the victor's on my impala SS
