Ok. I was thinking that the GM gasket wouldn't fit. Is it a certain size/thickness or just order for Ls1?

I bought a Cometic MLS gasket. It completely clears the primary opening. I also went with the Percy split-lock headers bolts.

If you don't plan on taking the headers off anytime soon, they'll be fine
