71 Dart 410 stroker ..

Ok...thanks everyone for their comments and suggestions....here is an update ....

went I started this post I already had cleaned and installed the Felpro 1008 on the head....so after reading the suggestions...I agree the fel pro gaskets are not going to survive.
since the head was on...I intalled the rockers and did an compression check to see what i would get and compare it to the passenger side head as it also had the fel pro gasket....figuring if this one is back the other side is going to take a crap too...

driver side with new gasket ...i get 210 psi cranking....passenger side with old fel pro is only 170 ish....so I could see the hand writing on the wall....both need to be replaced....So the cometics are on their way....

will give update once everything is back together...probably in a week or so....changing out rear ends in 71 Duster....
