I am pretty sure you can get header gaskets from BBK.

Just get teh small block for header gaskets. DON'T use the ones they send you, the will leak like a ***** !

93CobraR, did you know if you soak header gaskets in water before you install them that you will get a much better seal? It's true because it softens them up and the headers get a better seal. It has always worked for me.
Mach 1 is right, you can buy gaskets for a 302 and they will work.

I used the Fel-Pro (1450 I think). As long as you torque them evenly and keep the bolts tight they don't leak.
