Use the early style head gasket. You would have to use the late-style
manifold gasket for the intake/exhaust.
Don't worry about the sealing ring groove in the block.
FWIW, when racers "index" the block, the sealing groove gets milled away
so they have to use the early style head gasket (or a metal gasket such as
copper).
