Doug, The Cometic Valve Cover gaskets are advertised as aramid fiber. Not sure if they are available for the Ford FE or not. I can find out more about the Valve Cover gaskets if you want.
The Cometic MLS Head Gaskets are:
"MLS (Multi Layer Steel) The Cometic MLS gasket is comprised of three layers of Stainless Steel. Cometic uses Stainless Steel for increased strength, its ability to rebound, and corrossion resistance. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with a flouroelastomer rubber based material (Viton) designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments load conditions and surface finishes.
The Viton coating is resistant to 250 degC or 482 degF. The center or shim layer of the gasket is comprised of an uncoated Stainless Steel layer which can be varied to accomodate multiple thisckness requirements. The MLS gasket is ideal for both aluminum heads to cast iron blocks and aluminum heads to aluminum blocks."
FOR THE FORD FE:
A variety of thicknesses are available, and here are some part numbers for different size bores:
"part #C5833-040 for 4.080 bore, part #C5834-040 for 4.165 bore, part #C5835-040 for 4.250 bore, part #C5840-040 for 4.400 bore"
