There are quite a few differences between 37-40 and 41 on up. Chevrolet did a redesign of the 216 and except for the cubic inch displacement, most of the internals were changed and reworked to the point that even the oil pan has a different configuration, along with the bottom of the block. A gasket set for 37-40 will not fit a 41 on block.
