Most of us, I would assume, are using the composite head gaskets these days. However, for those of you that use the steel shim head gaskets and gain a little extra compression, what brand are you running? I would imagine that an NOS pair would be fine right since they are steel gaskets?
Also, does anyone know if Ford manufactured different steel gaskets for the Y block once the 239 got started? Most of the time I see composite gaskets that are after market manufactured for the Y block in general...
