engine gaskets

hello all. im looking for your opinions on engine gaskets. well the motor is pulled in my 97 to do most of the mods shown in my sig. but mostly because of my pan leaking. went with the fel-pro kit with dads motor and shes running great. im not tearing deep just head gaskets oil cooler rear m seal new gerotor pump. maybe what im asking is will the fel pro's head gaskets do ok? thank you in advance

Ive never had problems with any fel pro gaskets in any vehicle Ive ever worked on gas or otherwise, and thats a long list. Ive always concidered them to be a quality product.

Motor is not out YET. I ordered a 1250 lb engine stand that is supposed to arrive in the morning. Was going to pull motor when I had something secure to set it on... Left for work today, and one of my balljoints sh-t the bed, on my 01 Towncar! Good times, i will be working on that in the morning! Let me know how it goes for you
