Just wondering if anybody has had any issues using the regular FelPro 8554PT head gaskets on a mild build. I am putting together a nearly stock 428CJ I have had kicking around for 30 years. It is still std. bore, with the original "428 Super" cast pistons, and stock iron CJ heads. This engine will be going in my 59 Ford 2 door sedan with a Toploader 4 speed, mainly a weekend driver, will see the occasional 1/4 pass. I normally use the FelPro 1020 gaskets, but since I have several sets of the 8554s, I would kinda like to use some, plus since they are a bit thicker than the 1020s, hopefully with help with pump gas use. Any thoughts?
Also, are you guys with nearly stock 428 CJs getting by OK with modern pump gas? Up here we can still get Chevron 94 with no Ethanol added.
