    My engine builder is asking me if I would like to O-Ring the block.
    If I do would I need a special head gasket or something that may not be avalible for the LT1?

    Thanks in advance, Dave

    Depending on the boost you plan to run.We always o-ring our Big blocks and run copper head gaskets.

    I don't know if they have an LT-1 gasket yet.
    The Cometic will work if prepped correctly!
