Default Exhaust manifold gaskets??
I'm swapping a LS6 heads for LS1 heads. Are the gaskets the same?
THe LS6 has D-port and LS1 has oval.

DO I just get the exhaust gasket for the LS6 heads?

I have B&B headers! and haven't removed anything yet so I can't tell yet.

You want to use the 97-2000 GM stock round metal gaskets. Go that way and you'll never have an issue.

You can use LS6 gaskets, but the LS1's seal better w/ LT headers.
