Default Head Gasket for 6.0L heads on a 5.7 block?

The heads are 317 castings and are going to be milled .035". The block is stock size. Which GM head gaskets should I use; the 5.7's or the 6.0's?


Thanks
Josh

umm i would think that you would be able to use 6.0l gaskets as they are for a larger bore engine...i'll let someone else clear that up for you...
