use gaskets that match the block not heads. and your wasting youir time with heads that flow less then the stock 6.0s. the gain you get in CR isnt enough to make up for loss in CFM

I agree. The stock 6.0L heads have the same port design as ls6/ls2 #243 heads. Consider having them ported out at least. But yes, you would need the 6.0 gaskets, as the 5.7 gaskets would hang into the cylinder and burn.
