Felpro Permatorque Severe duty head gaskets
MLS gaskets have proven to be superior and tend to be where head gaskets have gone. They shine in the boosted applications. That being said I do agree an old motor as a daily I'd go with the standard gasket the motor came with. Take an apple out put an apple in for a daily.- Backyard

Felpro Permatorque Severe duty head gaskets
Hope your retorque works out for you. That being said you shouldn't have to ever retorque head gaskets in most cases. They are a set and forget for the most part. If you have to go back and retorque either something wasn't done right or something else is going on. Not to say that it can't work...- Backyard

Airconditioning LS swap, 85 to 78 front end swap ???
I used the stops off the 78. Worked on the newer cab. The 78 hinges bolt on the fenders. I just removed the ones off the cab that were for the 81-87. The stop you can see in the picture is off the 78 and fit in to thr factory hole. You will also need the older wiper post assembly they are shorter. -
