98 LS1 head gaskets?

Very soon here, I'm doing a heads and cam swap on my 98 Z28. The heads are 243 casting heads and I was wondering if there is any specific kind of head gasket (like factory style head gaskets for 97-98 LS1 motors) I need before I proceed with the swap.

He's asking does he need the earlier style gaskets or not......I think since your head is the later style you'll use the later style gasket.

Yes, with later heads, you can use any style gasket.
