I am planning on rebuilding the top end of my 400SB. This will require a lot of minor miscellaneous parts that I want to make sure I have. So far, I know that I will need gaskets and bolts.
Gaskets: Head, intake, exhaust, valve cover, water pump (for a new one), water neck.
Bolts: Water pump, intake, exhaust, head. (are some of these ok to reuse or do all have to be replaced)
(LET ME KNOW IF I AM MISSING ANY ON MY LIST)
What type of gaskets are durable and long lasting for a 400SB? Fel Pro has hundreds of different 400SB gaskets, and I just want to know of one that is affordable and bulletproof. I know Corteco makes a 400 head gasket line too.
The engine is going to be set up for street use, but have the ability for an occasional drag race. I am overwhelmed when it comes to "head" gaskets for my 400. The wall at my local parts store is just covered with them, which makes it difficult for me to know exactly what I need. If anyone has the product # of a good Fel Pro gasket, or even a different brand would be ok, please let me know.
Thanks

P.S. Is there a website that can guide me through this build??
