V6 engines, which should be good for most of the gaskets, except for intake and exhaust, now that I know more about what fits the heads.

I've seen that before too where it calls for the 351 to use the 401 head gasket. As far as the 379 it shares the exact same bore as the 351 so there should be no reason that you couldn't use 379 head gasket on a 351 if you came across them, same goes for using 432 head gaskets on a 401 engine, In fact I have an engine gasket set I bought for a 401M that I may build in the future and the engine gasket set lists it's for both 401 and 432 engines.
