Motor is bored .040 over and I will be throwing in a set of aluminum edelbrock performer heads.

Which head gaskets do you guys recommend. Will stock replacements work or do I need specific ones??

Thanks cafords

measure the cylinder bore size. If N/A I would run FelPro 9333.

Would the 9333 be ok with aluminum heads?

I used fel pro 1006 loc wire head gaskets for my boosted .040 over 308 with aluminum heads.. theyre a lil pricy compared to the 9333's but they were the ones recommended to me by TrickFlow..
