*FelPro's p/n 1094 is a steel shim with a 4.1" gasket bore diameter and 0.015" compressed thickness, if you've got super flat surfaces on the deck and head, this is a great gasket. It does not tolerate the engine being overheated.
 
 
*GM p/n 3830711 is also a steel shim with a 4.1" gasket bore diameter, and is 0.026" thick. Good flat surfaces are required, same rules apply as the Fel-Pro above. This is the GM production gasket for '''non''' 400 bore SBCs. Simple and low cost.

*GM p/n 10105117, this head gasket is a multi-layered stainless steel gasket with a 4.1" gasket bore diameter, is 0.028" thick, works with iron or aluminum heads, good for holding back high compression, and tolerates some surface irregularities in the deck and head surfaces. This is the “revised” gasket, see [http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/tech-general-engine/269378-head-gasket-thickness-gm.html post #23].
