Head gasket help

[purple78monte]

I’m swapping heads on my 355 and was wondering what head gaskets would be best to go with and what bore size should I go with for those gaskets heads are just regular cast iron heads motor has been bored 30 over

Generally you want to use as thin of a head gasket you can get away with for proper quencn. Depends on how far in the hole your pistons are.

I believe 0.39 is the thinnest I could go if I remember right but what about for the bore size I was think 4.125?

Because it that will work I have been looking at felpro 7733 pt2 would those work with regular cast iron heads?

Those are the base replacement head gaskets. yes they will work with steel heads. The issue is when you use aluminum heads with a stainless fire ring gasket and it can leave marks on the head surface. Almost any head gasket will work with a steel head.

Steel shim(.016) gasket type with a liberal amount of copper head gasket spray on both sides perhaps if you're looking to raise compression.
