The FE is one of only a few V8 engines that has a pressurized oil passage feeding through the cylinder head deck. That is why I personally prefer the "normal" Fel-Pro 1020 head gaskets over the Cometic MLS steel or copper options on any but the most radical applications. The traditional composite gaskets are much better at fluid sealing.
