Please don't use gaskets.

They did not have gaskets from the factory, nor did any of the 289's or 302's or 438CJ's. You need to be sure there is not a major flatness problem and no heavy rust pitting. Surfaces should be clean and not oily. Give the mating surface a light coat of silicone sealant and torque the bolts per the shop manual. You will never have a problem if you do this.
