im getting all the parts ready to put together my new engine combo but have a few questions about gaskets.

1) im gonna be running a set of Milled GT40P heads, what headgaskets should i use? i see some are different thickness then others

2) since im using 1.7 SVO roller rockers with stock valve covers should i double up on the VC gaskets? or should i just use the thickest one i can find?

3) i see FEL-PRO makes a few gasket kits but none are listed for the 87+ 5.0. could i use one of these kits anyways? what are the major differences? does anyone else sell a whole kit?


any links and tips would be much appreciated, thanks

Get the ford racing or fel-pro full gasket kit. I just used the ford racing one last week and it was pretty good and I have NO leaks.
