Need help wi part#

I have head gasket leak on my 2004 F250 5.4l 2v. I am looking for a head gasket kit. The part# I think is right is 2L3Z-6079-A. I want to stay with the FORD kit. Can anyone confirm this is what I need? Also I can not find a list of gaskets in the kit. Not sure if it has all the gaskets I will need. Any help would be greatly apricated. Thank you

Also does anybody know a good source for OEM Ford parts? There are other things I'm going to have to buy. Thank you

Are you doing both heads? I also have a Head Gasket leak, most likely passenger side. This truck is my only ride (wife has her car, we both work) and so I need it. I'm intimidated by the job but got a quote for $3k-$4k. They would do a service on the engine too. I also have an oil leak on passenger side and I can see it (only leak when truck is rolling) right under exhaust manifold. Would this be leaking from the mating point of head and engine block? They would also do timing chain, tensioners and a basic yet good service. How are you doing the job yourself?
I have a 2002 F-250 5.4L 2V 4WD CCLB at 235,000 miles.

I am going to attempt to do the job with my nephew even though it looks intimidating. I've done many engine bills but nothing is nrw. If I'm pulling one head I'm going to change both head gaskets while I'm in there and also plan on dropping the heads off at a machine shop to have looked over. I plan on using all OEM parts I already have oil pump and water pump and I'm looking for a sauce for the timing components. I have gotten one quote from a company down in Florida for the parts iwant to compare the pricing to see if I can get a better price. This truck is the only vehicle me and my wife have right now and it's going to be down for at least a week to do the job I'm planning. We will see what happens. Not going to attempted until I have everything lined up.

Thank you for the link. I'm assuming that it is coming with the multi-layer head gaskets. The only other gasket set I think I would have to order this for the timing cover is this correct?
