Get a ford gasket mate. You'll need head bolts as well.

Rocker cover gasket, and manifold gaskets if you remove them.

Basicly buy a head gasket set with new head bolts

Go to Ford and ask for a full Headgasket set and Headbolts. You may as well get a cam belt as well.

You will have every gasket you need.

Good quality torque wrench is vitall also.

While its apart also replace the valve stem seals, these will come in a head set.

You could also get a Payen head set which is just as good as Ford set
