Who makes a good THICK head gasket?

I need a thick head gasket to compensate for a set of heads that have been milled a bit too much for my liking. My concern is that the intake won't line up. What are some of the thicknesses of the available head gaskets, and does anyone have part numbers?

I've got the mexican Goodwrench 350 motor, with the 8.3:1 dished pistons/76cc heads. I'm putting on a pair of ported 14014415's from a 267ci. The guy did some serious machining to them including bigger 1.94/1.5 valves, and got them down to 51cc. My compression should be over 9.8:1 so I am not concerned that the thicker gasket will lower CR a bit.

How well they work will depend of how good of a port job
he did. Should be and nice improvement over the origional
76 cc heads Depending on your head gasket vol, and deck clearance your cr will be 10:1+.
