I just bought some Windsor Jr heads and they have O-ring grooves cut in them. What head gasket do I need to use?------------------

If you don't use o-rings in the block, you can use any gaskets you like. The grooves in the heads are teh reciever grooves.
My choice as always is the Victor Reintz 3428SG.------------------

Thanks Alex. Are Fel-Pros ok? That's the only kind I've ever used.

OH NO! Not the 'F' word 
I use Fel-Pro on just about everything except the head gaskets. Don't do it for an iron block/aluminum head combo  ------------------

I'm way too cheap for aluminum heads. These are Jr cast iron......

I am not a fan of the Fel-Pro head gasket so let you consience be your guide. I use their products on most every other place in the engine, but the heads.
Victor Reintz is my choice for most SBF applications.------------------
