You could use a bolt from your other motor for the head. The felpro 8519 is a good gasket. As far as the valley use felpro1215. I'm pretty sure it has the crossover blocked.

Thanks I was wondering about that gasket seems awfully cheap (price wise) compared to others...

Have you figured out why the head bolt came out?

No, I figure I will chase the threads and clean everything up as much as I can, and make sure everything is ok on that front at least. I am guessing the bolts were never retourqued after a few heat cycles, but who knows This motor was put together by Jasper racing in IN, I have heard mixed reviews since... If there is a more serious problem then the engine is coming out for a rebuild anyway.

Check other posts, head bolt retorquing is not done very much at all. The location of the bolt is a problem to me, as it is in the middle which should be torqued first or second in the usual pattern.

Is the "usual pattern" specified in the Factory Service Manual, or is there a better/different pattern to use?

The FSM does have a picture of the tightening pattern they want you to use, start at the center head bolt and then go down to the two lower ones under it and then the two upper bolts between the intake passages and then down to the next further out on the lower row and so on
