I am doing a set of magnum heads like Dulcich did in the June 2005 Mopar muscle mag. I am putting on a set of La Hedman headers and an LA type Strip dominator intake on a LA block. I want fo do a gasket match on the heads.... What gaskets do I just? La type or Magnum type? Is there any difference?

I used LA intake gaskets when mounting my LA intake to Magnum heads. The difference is in the bolt holes I think.

Use Remflex or similar gaskets between your headers and the head. There is very little common gasket area between the LA headers and the bottoms of the Magnum port (about 1/8" wide maximum sealing area if I recall), they will want to leak there.
