I can only find one part number on sdpc2000.com, 12556429. It doesn't specifiy what years it fits.

Reason for asking is I have good gaskets on my '98 heads, and want to use them on some stock 241 heads.

Cop Car, I've heard the same thing from other sources, but can't find a [1998] part number to confirm there is a difference.

from autozone, felpro rubber gaskets

1998 - VS50503R
2000 - VS50504R

My 2000 has the center bolt valve covers. So the part numbers are different so I would assume that they are different.

They are different. 98s have a squiggle shape and 99+ go straight around.
