Your machine shop should be able to order gaskets, or you local parts store. Be careful with some of the gasket sets because they come with the wrong intake gasket. Felpro and Victor are good gaskets. Check your old gaskets with the new ones on make sure all of the holes line up correctly.

You will need to get gaskets that fit your intake port on your head.

I get the gaskets seperate as can get better quality for that way, I use the fel pro- 1011-2 head gaskets, a standard timing chain gasket kit and fpp-1250 intake gasket and fpp 1450 header gaskets and 1 piece pan gasket and reusable valve cover gaskets

Do you mean the perma dry valve cover gaskets? They are really nice.

I tried those but since I have the flat rail ford racing valve covers, those didn't fit the pattern of my valve cover to well, it says in the instructions for my valve cover that they wouldn't work, either way the perma dry are nice
