X2 on the sandwich type , and use a slightly longer header bolt with a good lock washer , dont use the washers that come the bolts .. mine is done that way and no leaks for a while now .. Bud

My '64 427/Custom came from the factory without gaskets. I don't believe ANY FE used exhaust gaskets, but realize that I'm not sure.

Plug wire routing cross fire between wires in the old days fe motors  had this happen todays wires are better but with high voltage it can still happen.
