Whats the best headgasket to use w/408ci engine
I'm putting together a 408ci motor and most likely going to use some nitrous on it. The bore size is 4.040. I want a .40 thick gasket. Several people are saying just use MLS gaskets but I dont see where to get them and the proper sizing? Some said to get the 4.130 size will be fine but not seeing them for my 6.0L iron block at the thickness i need. So any help of what gasket and where to get it and if you know pricing all the better.
The piston is in the hole .006, milling the 70cc head down to 66cc's and a .40 gasket with flattop pistons -2cc, should achieve 11.8:1 compression.
I may use nitrous down the road up to a 150shot tops.

You can use the cometics which are damn good gaskets (what I use) or you can use the l92 gaskets and 6.0L gaskets that are cheaper. Just depends on you and what you want to spend.

Well crap that answers that I'll have to contact John@Scoggin for the cometics he mentions then. Thanks for the replies. Keep'm coming just incase someone knows of something good,bad or ugly about certain gaskets. Thanks again

FYI, we have cometic gaskets available in a wide array of bore sizes and thickness NOT shown on the cometic site.
All GM gaskets are .051 thickness per their spec. the L92 is right at 4.100. The others are listed, but like i said, we can get alot more than what is on that sheet.
Thanks
John
