FWIW, I tried using copper gaskets from Summit on my 427, and they were 
complete crap.   They failed to seal properly and I had tons of exhaust leaks.   To 
their credit, they took them back and gave me a 100% refund.   Conventional 
fiber header gaskets (Mr. Gasket, or Fel-Pro, I can't remember) did the job 
just fine.
