So i purchased the Fel Pro head gaskets and Bolt kit... Are these gonna be ok? Heads have been off for a month or so.. I have the cylinders taped off as not to let any debris inside. Just purchased car and there is "some" small surface rust inside cylinder walls.. I cleaned, placed a light coat of oil inside and taped when i got the car home. I'll be throwing some new lifters in as well.

Anything i am missing?

Thread sealer? New intake manifold gaskets? Permatex copper for the seal for the front and rear of the intake manifold to the block.

True. usually a thin coat of Elmers glue should do.

Dont forget to torque the bolts properly and in sequence and try to do it all warm.
Lube and seal the bolts the same for conformity. Make sure all surfaces are FLAT and CLEAN!!!!

Nice. I was thinking more along the lines of Gorilla Glue.

I've used either Copper or Black and had good luck with both.

I used rubber seals from a Gen1 SBC and a dab of black RTV on the corners..

Go with the 0.026 gaskets and bump that compression a bit while you are in there.

Speaking of head gaskets do Cometics make 0.26" @ 4.04" bore?

I've only seen either 0.27" @ 4.11" or 0.40" @ 4.04"
