iirc they are the same part number the black ones are the old and the copper ones are the latest and greatest, I think...

Thanks burndown,I have the newest ones but am unsure if they are preferred and thought I heard of some issues so want to check first.Aparently I cant get the black ones through my stealer.

I've been using the new style GM gaskets, and I haven't had any problems. I haven't heard of a lot of LMLs with head gasket problems either, so I don't think they're a bad design. Also, Mark posted a while back that they were using them in their builds without any problems.

I haven't heard of any issues with them either... That is what I was going to put in my long block this winter... Unless someone can offer a better gasket?
