Steve,

Get in touch with Dean at fairlady products he has a great! gasket that is reuseable well worth the money I have been able to reuse it several times.

I agree with Russel, I have reused mine several times. Still doesn't leak.

To answer specifically, no, you cannot use the stock 1600 (dunno about the 2000) manifold gasket with a header because there is no material between exhaust ports 2 & 3 on the stock gasket. There needs to be material there for the header's individual center pipes. Reusable and one-time gaskets are available from the vendors, and I believe they will sell the gasket sets with your choice of stock or header manifold gasket.
