You can use the stock head gaskets for your application. There is no special headgasket you need to use with Vortecs.

If you wanna pick up some compression like I had to, run the fpp-1094 that's only .015" compressed.

Felpro 1003 is reccomended for 450+hp...don't ask how I know. it's a steel piece, .041" compressed, 4.166" bore. A steel shim would be cool too...lol
