copper suck, especially if you don't want to have to retighten the header bolts. i prefer regular fel-pro. copper rtv is really good stuff, alot of guys get away with using it with no gaskets.

Factory ford gaskets or felpro, they do not have the common leaks the windsors suffer from.

OEM Ford multi mayer gaskets work best. If you can, use stage8 locking header bolts, and TQ every one of those bolts to spec.
