Head Gasket Options

Looking for head gaskets for my 70 350 with stock heads and 9:1 compression. Would like to find something reasonably priced that is a bit thinner than the .040 Fel-Pro style.

Read an article that the Corteco 55661HG is only .028 thick but I believe that that is a big block gasket. The Corteco site lists a 20367CS as correct for my application. Does anyone know the compressed thickness of this part number?

Any other suggestions.

I can't locate a source for the 55661HG. RRP says that they are out of stock. I tried contacting Corteco but have not received a response.

Any ideas?
