Need recommendation for 67 gaskets

I'm putting my 67 L71 back togather and want to buy intake, head, carb gaskets from the best source as far as correctness is concerned. I
appreciate any advise.

Thanks

Original head gaskets were steel shim type. I don't recommend this gasket-type but if you want to use them obtain two GM #330860. These are as close to the originals as you can get. With only the small portion of the gaskets visible when installed on the engine, I don't think anyone will be able to tell the difference from originals.

For intake manifold gaskets, the reproductions available from Paragon are as close as you can get. Pretty much all you'll lack are the tiny "GM" embossments on the end seals. You can try to obtain these from any GM big block gasket set even though the side gaskets from most of these will not be correct.

For the carburetor gaskets, use the reproductions available from Dr. Rebuild. (I think they can also sell you the Paragon intake manifold gaskets, too).
