ok well my block is at the machine shop and will be getting cleaned and fitted for pistons in about 2 weeks when the pistons get it, now my question is what gasket kit can i use??? i have only found a complete gasket kit at rallyspec, but its 450+ dollars is kinda high, i can get a 2.0 gasket kit for 250, is the only thing different the valve cover gaskets???? i can order those for 15 a piece, and i will have to get new head gaskets cuz the blocks getting bored .020" over,

you should be able to use the 205 gskt set and stock size head gskts should still work even though your going .020 oversize.Compare the 205 gskts with your old 207's and I will bet they match up as the same.And since the v/c gskts are rubber they can be reused. good luck

i dont have the old head gaskets, the talked to rally spec and the guy said i could do the 205 kit but the head gaskets are diff, i guess water holes are what he is talking about, also valve cover gaskets are different so i just ordered the set they offer with all 6 gaskets and 16 rubber gromment, cheaper than the dealer even with shipping, so i guess i will be getting a 205 gasket kit, does anyone know if they have the head gaskets??? and will they be ok to use?? i plan on about 400whp 450 tops, and ~25psi and will probably be using arias pistons since they offer 8.7:1 cr with out having to have them custom made unless someone can tell me some other ones i should use
