I'm sorry was
thinking what we used but yes the block was overbored---comp387

FYI - I just ordered a set of Cometic gaskets. They'll make them any bore and the minimum thickness is .027".

We use Cometics on our 283s (stockers). I reuse them in teardown multiple times. We used to run the shims, but they are hard to find. Tried Coppers and they were a pain. The Cometics are nice.

Cometic tells me 100.00 each.
Chevy gasket 12.00 each.
