Alright, im getting down the the small details before I finish my shopping and start building my motor..

I had heard you could(and some said I should) run larger bore gasket than the cylinder bore. Is this true?

My bore is 4.030, I figured I would just use 4.030 cometic head gaskets.

Thanks guys,

no, you dont do it that way. the firing needs room to squish

go with a 4.060" head gasket

Alright, sounds good enough. Anyone ideas where to find the 4.060 bore cometic gaskets? TSP only had the 4" and 4.030 where I looked.. I guess if I called them I could get any though.

I'm doing a 408 and everyone says to use the 6.0L OEM gaskets which are 4.040. I thought that was a little tight, but Erik at HPE says no problem.
