Brian, go with the 4.060 bore, that is what I used all the time when the bore was .040 on the block. If they don't have it, next will be the 4.080, .040 thicknes. Here is a trick that I use so it will not leak thru any of the water holes or oil return. Get some Copper seal gasket, the liquid one, at Car Quest or O'Reilly. Then, in between the layers were there is a water jaket or oil return lay some of the gasket seal, then go to the block, at the top of the lifter galley lay down from on end to the other, front to back a bitt of the seal, then every hole on the block put a bit on top of them. The go to the head, and do the same thing, only were the head matches the lifter valley and every water hole and stud or bolt holes. None on the fire ring of the head or the block. Another thing keep an eye on the rivets at the front and rear, some of them will not clear the block or the head, if that hapens you can take the rivet off. Any questions call me.
