According to Felpro the steel fire ring in the gasket of the 1000 will cause a brinneling effect on the heads and should only be used on cast heads and blocks. Going off their info Lee. Sorry.
I decided to use the Fel-Pro 1000 gasket. Would it help to use a coating of the 3m adhesive that RJC uses on his head gaskets? I have some remaining from the RJC gaskets that I tried first. Nothing wrong with the RJC gaskets other than they are for the 3.8 block.
