IIRC, gaskets are the same for a 504 (same bore but stroked), and those aren't hard to find on GOOGLE.
 
YEARS ago we made a blown up 470 into a 504 by swapping in a new factory 504 shortblock, and I know the bores are the same, and the heads interchange, so the gaskets have to be interchangeable, IMHO

Good luck, sounds like a fun project, they are interesting to work on with 24 roller tappets!

Is your cam in good shape, injector lobe pitting/failure was common.
 
don't know on cam . it ran .what I thought good . put a new clutch in it . pressure plate was bad . then setting in my shop it dropped water in the oil .
 
(quoted from post at 16:37:12 08/02/20) Some of those small Vs had cavation issues and you may have pinholes in the liners.

I concur.

I would suspect liner erosion or liner O-ring failure as the source of "coolant in the basement" before head gasket failure.

Even back then it was known that "Diesel Coolant Additives" were needed, those engines came with a "coolant filter" (more or less a cloth bag with coolant additives) and as it was a "new thing" to farmers not all were taken care of as required.
 
Most of those small Vs were repowered with straight 6s do to that and the fact they had no power.
