Fel Pro's are out of the question if you want .040 MLS gaskets because they don't make one. The only gasket they offer that's close is the 1041 which is a steel core laminate instead of MLS.
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, the Fel Pro is a better gasket but Cometic offers more options and they are reliable if you prep the deck surfaces correctly.
I'm running the Fel Pro 1161's and have had no issue's over the last year of daily driving.

The 1041's are .041 crushed and have a 4.135" bore so they should work; also, confirm the width of the combustion chamber. From a reliability perspective, they are good gaskets so you should have no issues with what you want to do.
