I used Percy's deadsoft aluminum on my daily driver and for over a year no-header leaks.

I used GM multi layer steel and they are awesome, I tried others but they fail in comparison. If I can I will get you a part number later today.

It seems a lot of people think that My friend had a set on his 383 LT1 in his Impala. They appeared to be leak free, until he took the headers off to remove the heads for some work. Turns out they were leaking out of the bottom. Yes he practices the art of retorquing them..

I myself recommend Earl's Pressure Master Header Gaskets
