Default gasket question

alright this is whats goin on. my father bout a ls1 to put in his 70 corvette. it came with some slp long tubes that he cant use because of frame clearance. so they are goin on the my z. when we took them off they had the stock gaskets. would it be safe to use those or should i buy some new ones? they look fine and they are the 3 piece gaskets.

I would buy new GM gaskets. The used ones should be fine but I wouldn't want to have to change them after the fact for the $20 it will cost you to do it now.

You would use the same gasket, but keep in mind they could leek and I would hate to do them twice.
