Will this Gasket set fit on my 1974 318?
So I'm redoing my heads and intake and I was looking for a gasket set, I found a brand new one on craigslist that was close to me but it is for 318s from 1976-1989. Mine is a 1974. I just need the head gasket, valve cover gasket, and any intake and exhaust gaskets. I'm not going to go through the oil pan, water pump, etc. This is what it is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fel-Pro-HS85...item2a21e4de53
They are fel pro hs8553pt14 gaskets. It also comes with new spark plugs, spark plug wires, and an oil filter, all for around $40. Do you guys know if this gasket set is compatible with my engine?
I should also mention i have headers, eddy performer intake, and 1987 302 casting number heads. Thanks!

I won't swear to it but the only thing I can think of that may be different is the water neck gasket. Sometime and I don't know when or why, Mother Mopar went from the larger diameter thermostat to a smaller one.

74-76 should be the same ??? The only thing I could think of is the intake gaskets for EGR emissions, maybe the head gasket thickness ???

So you think i should be able to use the head gaskets and intake/exhaust gaskets? heck for $40 bucks why not try it, the plugs and wires are worth at least $20 alone.

yea go for it plug and wires are worth it
when you go to install the gaskets just pay extra close attention make sure no water jacket passages are block/and it all lines up, it helps if you got the originals.
Moparod & TVLynn are right the water neck size is larger and the heat crossover might be different but the head gaskets should be the same.

thermostat
72 was the changeover from large to small thermostat along with all the pollution stuff and egr. The gaskets over didnt change much just added extra for the different styles for 80s engines.
