Default how to pick a head gasket size?

Hey guys.

I hope the weekend went well for everyone. I took 2 days off to finish building this motor to get the car back together.

I was wondering how you go about picking a head gasket? Thickness I guess. The bore is a 4.030 but just how thick should I be using? Block was decked when machine work was done, and the heads are fresh, so I'm guessing they were shaved to make them straight.

So I don't care really if it's like .31 or .64 ??? What would be a good gasket to use as I need to get them today.

Thanks in advance.

Ha, sorry, I didn't realize I had one of the head gaskets from this motor in a pile. I'll just grab those and put it together.
Thanks
