I can't give you specifics, but I can tell you that getting a Ford factory manual for this vehicle would be the first thing I would do. Barring that, get a Haynes, as they have engine rebuild instructions, which will logically include the head gasket.

Don't fret about this, I'm just a DIYer (although I'm old enough to be your father), and I'll tackle anything that doesn't require a machine shop.

Follow these suggestions:

- take your time
- be sure you understand the instructions
- take pictures of stuff so you can tell which way it goes back
- label things like vacuum hoses and connectors

The key question to answer is whether or not the head is warped. The engine rebuild instructions will tell you to check this. You've done other engine builds, this is really not going to be that different.

Good luck.
