Mercruiser part 27-46401 vs going to NAPA

My exhaust gasket failed on my Mercruiser 165hp in-line 6 (1973). Can I just get a new gasket for a 1973 Chevy at NAPA or is the Mercruiser gasket specific and required?

Ayuh,..... The head to manifold gasket,..??..??

It's gotta be a 1 piece unit, or ya won't be able to install it,.....

Donno what Napa's looks like,.....

There's no water passing through that gasket so yes, a gasket from anywhere should be fine..

Thanks guys. Strangely, the Mercruiser gasket was cheaper.
