Try Felpro 1406 gaskets, or stock GM metal gaskets.

I will second those Fel-Pro 1406s. They are great and I never had a leak in two and a 1/2 years with my hooker longtubes.

I use AZ Speed and Marine gaskets (since I only live 5 miles away from them). They cut them to match the exhaust design of our LT1's not just a square hole. Not one leak.

Felpro 1406's are cut for the D port shape. That's probably what you're getting from AZ S&M.

I have used the copper gaskets with bolt locks and never had a problem.

You can,t go wrong with the dead soft alum or copperseals.
Everyone talks up the Felpros too so they would work good.
