Call Wilcox and tell them what you're doing. I did this when rebuilding my xflow and they recommended which parts (gaskets, oil pumps etc) would be most cost-effective and suitable for my engine. Their prices were pretty reasonable, too.

Standard bore size 80.978mm

You have + 0.060" = 1.524mm

So in theory you need a 82.5mm headgasket linky or of course a cheaper alterative
