Felpro is what you want unless you're going for more then 500whp.

Well if you're going for 500 then you'll want forged internals anyway. I'd have the block oringed at that point and use a nice copper gasket.

If you're tearing down for forged parts, try to find that copper one. If you're just wanting security on stock internals, go Fel Pro.

No problem man, I look fwd to reading about your build. Be sure to make a build thread, not a lot of love for the SOHC. I'd love to see you pass the 500 mark :mike
