Head Gaskets - O-Ringed Block ?

I acquired an O-Ringed 109 block.

What options do I have for Head Gaskets?

TIA,

My Head gaskets could be different. Call SCE and ask them what info they would need from you to get them started. Also inquire about having the gaskets made to an 8 bolt design.

View all gaskets.
SCE Gaskets Inc.

I agree with what Underboost said about inquiring about the 8 bolt head specific gaskets, as all of these look to be for 14 bolt head configurations.

Hope this helps.
