Question aluminum heads on iron block (gasket question)?

I'm putting aluminum heads on my 6.0 iron block, but a though came to mind, do I need a certain gasket to put the aluminum heads on the iron? or just any head gasket will work. Putting the heads on asap so any thoughts will be helpful.

This isn't the 60s. You should be able to get GM MLS, Cometics, or Fel Pro gaskets pretty much any where. Any of the above will work with the GM MLS being the best quality for the money.

Agree, no issue with any of the MLS gaskets listed above. Just make sure your using the correct gasket bore diameter.
