Alot of it depends on the engine combo built, you need a head gasket to match your bore, standard, .030, .040, etc. Also it depends on your deck height which can be positive or negative. If your piston is in the hole far enough for reasonable quench I suggest the thinnest head gasket you can afford, if its not then you need a gasket that will keep your piston from slapping the head.
