You should probably pick up and Thermostat housing gasket, intake manifold gasket, exhaust gasket, and head gasket. The stock gasket is a good piece but if you have the money I would opt for the HKS or Power Enterprises Metal Head Gasket. They are a little better but 3 to 4 times the price. You can get gaskets from Mitsu or www.LancerShop.com or probably several other vendors that do engine work like www.automotosports.com or www.buschurracing.com
the complete gasket set is around $230 and there are alot of things you wont use unless you are building a motor, get the intake mani gasket and tstat gaskts, head gasket, depending on miles a valve cover gasket set re use the exhaust gasket make sure to get a good oil filter and change the oil when done

I know that Mitsu does offer a kit specifically for head work. I don't have pricing or contents details as I already had most of the gaskets individually. The head gasket itself is usually one of the more spendy gaskets in the kit.
