What kind of gaskets do I need?

906 Vortec heads on a 70's truck block... what kind of gaskets do I need? Is there any difference between the years? I'm going with FelPro unless someone tells me otherwise.

so centerbolt heads vs perimeter-bolt heads makes no difference? awesome. Does anyone know of a gasket set that will suit my needs? I'll be mating these heads with an edelbrock performer RPM air gap intake manifold, and an adapter to go from carb to TBI... ---> AND I am keeping it TBI (am I nuts? Lets ask the TBI guys.)

I was looking at those... I think I'll need a whole set of gaskets, so is the FEL-HS7733PT-9 what I want?
