Cylinder head ford v8 flathead
 

Hello,
little question for the V8 flathead pro: is it normal to have a cylinder head with round holes and the motor with the triangle and the trapezium?
and what is the good head gasket?

thanks

Block is earlier than head. in short, it still works. Composite gaskets from reputable manufacturer. Both are the same. One goes on, up side down.

The copper head gaskets are the best unless you have done the heads
They are a little more forgiving
