I would like to use Cometic gaskets on our 8ba, but the standard gaskets are only available for the 59ab. Could I use the 59ab gaskets while using the 8ba heads and block? Might have to block off one hole near the front. This is a race application so I'm not worried all that much about cooling system restrictions if any.
 
I know I used 59AB gaskets on an 8BA with 59 heads, I suppose if you blocked off the forward water hole on the block and the head it might work, as long as all the other holes line up.
