    Kenny; those street boss hemi heads don't use regular head gasgets they have grooves inthe heads and used a o-ring gasget. You might get the head to bolt on,but finding the right stuff to make them work on a 460 might not be so easy. Like your not supposed to use a grooved head with a groved block, Why?The valves in a 460 are horizontal and the valves in the hemi are vertical so differant pistons will probably be needed to keep the valves from hitting. My book does not go into a great deal of stuff with the problems you might run in to, but I'm sure your going to have quite alot of problems with this o- ring in the heads for each cylinder. I don't want to be the guy that gives you bad news, So I'll just say good luck and I hope every thing works out for you buddy.
