Looking for experienced recommendation on head gasket choice/options when installing aluminum heads onto stock Ford steel blocks. Trying to nail it down so I can pick some up and start putting the new engine together. From what I can gather both from the all knowing internet and also a couple real engine builders (both differ naturally!) here is what I have to choose from...but other options are welcome if it comes with actual experienced advice.
Felpro 1011-2 (copper fire ring, .039)
Felpro 8548PT2 (.047)
MrGasket 5708G (.038)
All three are steel core laminate structures. I'm leaning toward the 1011-2 due to the pre-flattened copper ring and thin compressed thickness. Every little bit of compression is appreciated!
