[DAVID GAGNARD]

Thanks to all for the help and info.........

Rick;
Checked everything out and it all looks good to go.......the only difference I can see in the 302/351-W head gasket and the 351-C head gasket is the C gasket in a little larger on the bottom of the block to match the extra water jacket holes in the block..The W gaskets do not cover them completely and would have a major water leak from the word go....

I put the C gasket on the block and everything matches up perfectly, then turned the head upside down and put the gasket on the head and it matches up perfectly there also..... marked the steam holes on a gasket on the block and they line up perfectly with the steam holes on the head, so I should be good to go.......

Thanks to AFR for having the forsight to do this on their heads.....saves me a lot of trouble and worry about having to drill a brand new pair of heads............

BTW: I checked my 69 302 block and it DOES NOT have steam holes..........
