Joe,

I suspect so.  Sources I’ve looked at for Morgan spare parts only list one part number even though the Plus 8 was sold for 35 years with 3.5, 3.9, 4.0 and 4.6 liter engines.  Rimmer Bros. in the UK sells over a dozen types of valve covers but only one size gasket.  Summit sells the same gasket for the Buick 300 and 340 as well.  I suspect you already know that the Oldsmobile version of the alloy block 3.5 had valve covers and heads that were quite different, so I’m pretty sure those gaskets would be different.
