Head gasket for Aluminum heads

Hey all, in the process of building this 350, and I grabbed a set of aluminum heads.
My question is what head gaskets are you guys using when running aluminum heads.
My machine shop ordered me a gasket kit.
Sealed power/felpro part # 260-1008.

Am I ok using this head gasket kit, or is a special gasket needed to run aluminum heads?

Thank you all

Ok cool.
Cutlassefi mentioned about using a felpro 8171 pt1.

And that's what I have in the gasket kit here, so I'll run with these.

I almost bought the Edelbrock 7340's,
But glad I didn't now to spend double money.
