What's the verdict?
How does everybody feel about the Fel-Pro head gaskets?
Also are the gaskets the same and will fit either side? Or is there a driver side and a passenger side?
And of course,
Edit: Also going to replace the pushrods. Any opinions on updating or stick with OEM

Thanks guys for all your input. Sounds like positive feedback. 
I was hopping he would chime in as I knew he has some experience with them.
LOL ask a question get an answer. I guess I was asking more about these being as good or better then the OEM. The general thought here was OEM gaskets and ARP studs is the "best" setup. Well, if I'm going to use the studs then I don't need the bolts the OEM gaskets come with. These are just the gaskets and cost less.

^^Same reason I went with them.
I was just talking with Anthony about the HGs. I'll send him a text and see if he will chime in here in person.

If your going to do push rods i would do the lifters while the heads are off just to be 100% i pulled mine out and checked them and alot of them were really rough so i changed them just to be sure. I also have only used the stock gaskets with the studs. Havent had to open them back up yet. I got mine off ebay it was a kit that came with gaskets studs and stand pipes for i think 700

That's not a steal. You can get the headgaskets for 300 from Auto Nation/ White Bear and standard studs for under 400 almost anywhere.
