Default What Head Gasket for a 5.3l with 317's?

I'm installing some 317's on a 5.3l for a turbo application. What Gm MLS head gasket would I use. One for a 5.3l or one for a 6.0l? If anyone happens to have the GM part number, that would be a bonus.

Thanks, Rick

I run a cometic 4.030 bore @.051 thick on my ls1 with a 317 head. You want the head gasket to clear the combustion chamber of the head. Give them a call and double check but i think this is what you want. http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...d=880&catid=36
