best is for you to go to an auto parts shop and get a workshop manual for that engine
the vehicle will be immaterial if it uses that same engine as yours
when u replace the head gaskets u must also replace any parts gasket that u remove (valve covers, intake manifold etc.) to get the heads off, they sell what is called a "Valve Grind" gasket set that is what u need, it will have all the gaskets in it u need..
V6? these are famous for head gaskets and cracked heads. the heads will need to come off and checked over for cracks and repair or replacement by a automotive machine shop.
Go to autozone.com and register yourself and your car (its free). Then you will be able to access the online repair manuals for your vehicle. It will show you how to replace your gasket

make sure to check the fiting that goes on the heater hose, because they have very coming problem with that, and actually if the leak is between the head and the intake what you need to replace is the lower intake gasket and not the head gasket,
since the head gasket is located between the head and the engine block. check the fiting i'm talking about and let me know how things goes, it might save you a headache
