Default Need to replace headgasket

My rebuilt engine is leaking coolant through some of the head bolts.. Yes even after I re-torqued to 55lbs! I want to pull the head and try a new gasket.. where can I find one for a 226 SIX "G" model?.. C&G only shows a head gasket for an "H" model engine.
I think some coolant got into my crankcase oil.. I have less than 500 miles on this engine.. I read on Fordbarn I should change out the oil once, run the motor, and change oil again.. I am really perturbed by this!..
