Default Advice needed on gasket kit and USA compatibilities (93 Telstar)

Car needs a new gasket kit. Details of my car is 1993 Ford Telstar AX Sedan, now I've been told that the 1993 Mazda 626 is the same engine, therefore parts are interchangeable.
On a quick ebay search it turned up a few US ebay sales that were for a Mazda 626/ Ford Probe. Is there any way of checking whether these gaskets would fit?

Ebay link to an example: Ebay US

Another question is, do you guys know any australian websites that I can source
my gasket kit from? This is all new to me.

Thanks

I'm australian _2: .
First phone call I made was to supercheap ($322.70) and Repco ($233). Repco's price is for the Monotorque brand.
Bit of a blond moment but I didn't even think of ringing Ford themselves. I'll do that tomorrow. Question: why would the wreckers carry a brand new gasket kit? I know they are handy for second hand parts, but I never figured them for new parts.

Thanks for the link, I'll check that out when I get back from Laser Skirmish tonight.

Talking about links, I just realised that the ebay link isn't working. ebay link . That should do it.

Bit of research done.
The part I need is 8DGX10271. Rang Ford, their price is $902. They actually told me to ring Mazda because they'd be cheaper.They were. $436.
Repco is still the cheapest.
I tried a google search on the numbers 8DGX10271 and nothing came up. Argh!
