BBC head gaskets for alum heads

**Zman1969** · #1 10-17-2023, 08:11 PM

anyone have recommendations for BBC head gaskets for Aluminum heads I have a set of Victor Reinz composite/Graphite or use Fel-Pro blue's? or what were OE with Alum heads?
this is for a 396 if bore size matters (most I see are listed at 4.370 bore)- I'd appreciate your suggestions.

FelPro made a blue gasket that had a copper fire ring for aluminum heads. I used them for many years. I now use Cometic gaskets. I don't know if FelPro still makes the other gasket.
