Default headgasket with 243's on a SBE

Will be throwing on a set of 243 heads onto my SBE ls1...what bore headgasket should I run? I would like to go with a GM mls gasket if possible, and was looking at these 12589226...will those work? any help would be great...thanks.

if its a 3.9, 5.7 bore, then any 5.7 gaskets will work, if its a 4.00+ bore then will need 6.0 or 6.2 gasket. its up to you what bore size and compressed thickness it needs.

the stock 5.7 mls gasket will work fine, SDPC usually has them in stock
