360 iron block/heads/race app (short duration-30 minutes). I have SCE solid copper .021" head gaskets that from what I understand should be ideally used with a copper O rings tho their tech said Indian head cement will work??? and I have some general purpose Mr gasket 1121G head gaskets .028". thank you for your time.

The 028" mr gaskets will put me a C hair under 9-1 with 2CC notches in the calculator so if they hold up all sounds good, thank you! I will be super meticulous on the prep & go a bit high on the bolt torque.

I am SOL on quench on this build (.112" down) but for sure I am gonna get it on next years' eng plus run a 63 dart which for sure will be lighter than what the chebby boys are running & on a side note the welded spider 4:10 7&1/4 has held up good so far (as we know it is lighter than an 8&3/4). Lot of them guys are running a furd 9" & not sure what it weighs (looks heavy tho). thanks guys. Much appreciated.

Clean head and block surfaces with brake cleaner or the like to get rid of any contaminents. Let the gasket surfaces do their work. Use the 1121G gaskets dry. 95 ft-lb with engine oil. Factory sequence. I know you'll go up in steps. Make the last step big enough that your breakaway torque isn't the final value you're shooting for. Funny that for 318s the rec torque is 85 with the same block and basic head design.
