SBC Head gaskets.....which ones?
Which head gaskets do you guys prefer for high performance engines?
Id like to get a thinner head gasket to increase my compression since the heads Im having redone are 76cc. Ive seen copper, metal, and the Fel Pro ones. Suggestions anyone?

with 5 bolts around each cylinder small block chevys are one of the easiest engines to seal, so use a steel shim gasket the factory used them for years in the sixties and seventies. I personally like the new graphite based gaskets but they are a mess to clean up when you pull a head.

Chevrolet has some steel shim type head gaskets that are only .026 thick compressed. About $10 each. Work great but have no holes for the 400SBC .......sorry pcesak
