I have always had great luck with the FRPP Graphite gaskets.

BTW they are made by Felpro.

From your signiture I am assuming you don't have a supercharger or anything.

Cometic makes really good head gaskets. not positive on their availability for mustangs though. I would assume you can get em though.

Yes they do make Cometic head gaskets for Mustangs.

Thats what I would recommend if you were going to run a supercharger but for N/A The Graphite gaskets are just fine.

yea it is a serious gasket and probably more than he needs with a mild motor but unless you're real concerned about budget i would get the anyways and then you wont have to worry about it if you decide to run a blower later on.

Felpro makes a "performance" gasket if the vehcle is supercharged aswell.
They are pretty good gaskets, Felpro as a whole
