Default 283 head gasket???

I am bulding a 283 for super stock and need some head gasket advice. I would like to find some steel shim small bore gaskets if possible. Fel pro currently has a steel shim gasket but it has a 4.100 bore.

On the GM gaskets if the parts guy will let you look thru the stack "Mic" them all and you might find some as thin as .020-.021"---Comp 387

Use the gasket that was made for a 283, Stock GM #3995633. They are slightly smaller in the bore and usually measure around .021". I just bought some late this summer, so they are still available.

Jerry is correct regarding the bore size. I have a set for sale if you need them. Send me a PM if interested.
