Re: header probs..
The "oval" are for rounded style ports. Not a lot of header manufactures paid any detail to port shape and location for headers

Re: header probs..
Yeah you'll be fine...om my 75 my ports were oval, i ran round gaskets and never had a leak. Go with copper gaskets, a little more expensive but worth it. Remember, when tightening the bolts start at the center and work your way to the sides.

Re: header probs..
Yea you will be just fine running the round style gaskets. That's the way they were on my old truck had no problems at all. Good luck
