    I just rebuilt my 302 and I can say that spending the $40 or so on a one piece gasket is well worth it. The one I bought was a Felpro, and it was one rubber piece all the way around with a steel core. It was sooooo much easier to get a good seal then using the rubber/cork sets with 4 separate gaskets. I'm a huge fan of doing it right the first time, instead of doing the harder way the second time.
