I'm wondering what the best head gasket is for 351c with 4v heads. If I have to pull my heads off to install Port Stuffers, I want to put the best gaskets in it. Right now I'm running the Fel Pro blue that comes with the rebuild gasket kit. Is that a good choice or is there better?------------------

Do you have a specific number or just the standard Victor Reintz gaskets?------------------

Dustin, I would just use the same ones you had in there, you haven't had a problem with one yet, so why worry about it? Are you sure you don't want to see what it does the way it is now first? Since your planning a trip to the track this spring, why don't you compare and see what the difference is?------------------

Well, not sure if I want to tear it down after I'm able to drive it again in the spring. I know the stuffers will make an improvment over no stuffers. But I wonder if using some epoxy or JB Weld and clamping it until it dries, but wiping off the excess before it sets up would hold? I'd rather do that for right now. ------------------
