Default Head Gaskets

I have a 1990 gt that I'm rebuilding the engine on. I plan on upgrading the heads but I don't know if they will be aluminum or cast iron. Basically depends on prices when I'm ready to buy. Anyways I already bought these head gaskets http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...ead-Gasket-Set

I was just looking around the internet reading articles and I thought I read something that says you need a special head gasket for aluminum heads, well I can't find where I read that but through researching it says on some websites that the ones I bought can be used for either iron or aluminum. Anybody know if this is true or do i need to get different gaskets?

If you are looking for head gaskets you can install and never look back get a cometic gasket, trickflow offers them for about half of what cometic themselves sell them for!
