I ain't used em (yet). SCE with their dead soft copper gaskets, not these felpro shims, wanted me to use Indian Head cement in the shoe polish type brown bottle but ideally to O ring the block on their items. On these it says on the pkg to use a felpro blue gasket on one side which I dont quite get. they are .020" & iirc the ad says .030" EDIT I think I would get some thicker gaskets, even some Cometics if need be for the right thickness.

(1) Dog is keeping me straight (2) I wouldn't want more than 9.5 SCR & I would polish the Hell out of the chambers when done, any sharp edges. Holler how it turns out when the time comes.

Kieth Black as quench dome pistons for that & also you would need to mill the open chamber recesses in the heads to set that dimention (the chambers are uneven/sloped as is) to a quench distance (.040" MAX) and likely mill the quench domes also. it'd be alot of shop time. Just me I would consider some magnums before that. EDIT Steve Dulcich of Muscle Motors fame has some excellent porting articles online for those 70's smog heads (Google it).
