$74.16 for head gaskets
Man this motor better run for that cost. i got the felpro 1003 head gaskets for my motor. i am going with the edelbrock proformer rpm kit 64 cc heads. i hope it will put out the 420hp it says it will. I have a 77 350 block bored out 60 over with edl7102 cam kit and the double roller gear set with the 64cc heads. i have proform true roller rockers and the .100 longer push rods. the pistons are trw 8.5 to 1 flat top i think that is what i went with ( it use to be a blower motor ). i have the rpm intake stock fuel pump holley 750 duel feed. and dynomax ceramic coated headers into 1 cat then badk out into 2 1/2 pipes. trans is a turbo 350 with a 2000 stall.

1003's are just $29.95 from Summit racing. If you have flat tops and 64 cc heads your compression will be more like 10.5. It would take dished pistons to get it down to 8.5.

If you have all the figures like 2 valve relief pistons are 6 cc and your head gasket is .041 thick cylinder deck might be as much as .020. go to this site.

Re: $74.16 for head gaskets (Lt1er)
The Summit prices for head gaskets are per "each" head. Felpro and Edelbrock recommend the 1010 gaskets for aluminum heads. Similar specs to the 1003 (.039 compressed vs .041) but they won't brinell aluminum heads.
