Copper gaskets

[LilYellowZQ8]

Will the exhaust manifold copper gaskets for a SBC work for the 4.3L? The dimensions look the same, but I would like to know if it will work before I buy them. Thanks in advance for any info.

I know the left hand side we're missing #3 cylinder rather than #1 or #7. Don't know what monkey wrench that would throw in there.

My headers came with a set of paper gaskets and (thanks to Permatex Ultra-Copper silicone) haven't blown out yet.

I'd want to do a side by side comparison to see how they line up.

If you want a set of copper gaskets for the 4.3, here ya go. Ain't
cheap though..

Never tried the coppers but have had good luck with percy's aluminum and the "ultra seal" gaskets.
