Header Gaskets
What is working good for you guys as far as header gaskets go?? i need to replace them on my coupe and there are so many to pick from... my friend tells me he has good luck with fel-pro.. running stock heads on a small block 350..You don't know what it is to love a car until you build one.

Others will offer a different opinion, but everything I've put headers on has been with stock fel-pro gaskets with little or no problems.Ken Thomas

It would also be a good idea to invest in a set of Stage 8 locking fasteners if you have not done so already.

I like copper gaskets and the Stage 8 are now my default with headers."Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty." John Basil Barnhil

I've used the copper gaskets for the last ten years or so and IMO they are with the extra money....had to snug up a couple but never needed to replace them.
