i need a little 340 help. Lets Talk head gaskets

i don't require 12.5:1 compression just want to use the setup since my dad ran this combo a long time ago. Yeah Little worried about the intake gaskets with the thicker head gaskets. I'll see if i can put the J heads on to see if they fit with the .040 head gaskets then make the decision.


I totally understand wanting to run your dads combo. If the J heads work you could possibly mill the Edelbrock chamber to match the J heads. This is just thinking of ways around your issues as I’ve never compared the two chambers.
