Just bought a set of Track 1's for my Monte Carlo Project. Going to go with ARP head bolts, but cannot seam to find a gasket bore size 4.030 on summit. Wanting to go with Fel-Pro Gaskets if I can. Can someone point me in the right direction on where to go?

You don't want the Gasket Bore size the same or smaller than the Cylinder Bore Dia. Needs to be slightly larger.
Most Gaskets fit a wide range of Cyl. Bore sizes.
4.060" will probably be the smallest you'll find, many will be 4.100" or larger.
Click thru the different Bore sizes & Brands here to narrow it down. This shows Gasket Bore size not Cylinder Bore size.

Also make sure they work with Aluminum Heads.

1003 felpro is what you want. You want the gasket larger than the bore. It has to seal both the chamber shape and the bore. You want to make sure the fire ring is exposed as little as possible to the heat.
