Your head gasket choice should be based on getting the correct amount of quench. If you have a stock block, you can assume the pistons are approximately .025 down in the hole, so you should look for a gasket that will put the quench at between .035 and .045 ideally. I would look for one of those thin .019 or .020 gaskets, and it will put you right on the money.

im thinking about running a solid cam now this will be my first time running one and wanted to know if there is anything other than the cam and lifters i need to put one in.

o and does anybody have the part # for the .019 head gaskets
