I'm almost 100% certain you need to use copper gaskets with O-rings. Call SCE and find out.

Oh ok thanks good to know. Idk what I'm gonna do yet. Im gonna start by measuring the piston height i may end up having the heads and deck milled and remove the oring or I may just get some copper gaskets and run em.

Tunnel ram is what I was thinking too until RRR said blower and that sounds awesome too but tbh im not sure i can afford either! This motor is gonna be for my 74 challenger and I was thinking about doing like a 80s themed muscle car wide tires, 80s style rims jacked up in the back with a dual quad tunnel ram sticking out of the hood, but a 6-71 blower sounds even better lol

My engine ran fine with the oring grooves intact using FelPro 1008 gaskets @ 13-1.
That's good!

O-Rings have been used with conventional head gaskets before...

However, I’d try to keep those deck and head surfaces and run boost with a SCE Copper Head Gasket.

Which is why I said I didn't know for SURE and to CALL a gasket company like SCE.
With everything I've read and experienced, "I" would not run anything but a copper gasket with an o-ringed engine. Just personal preference.
Run a toilet paper gasket if you want, I really don't care.
