The thin, B18B headgasket is what you need, it will put the quench in the .035"-.045" range where it should be if you have the correct pistons. Don't let anyone tell you it needs to be tighter. You should drop the compression ratio a little with some chamber massage if you don't won't to put high octane in it. (Are you talking about 10% ethanol?)
