The NOS gasket out of gasket set 373678 for 356 engine is .084 or just slightly less than 3/32.
The composition is a very compressed material, fairly hard, and doesn't seem to bend like cardboard usually does. You can sort of see the layering. Don't know if this one has just gotten hard or if it is something special.
I would think if you found that approx thickness at the parts store, the composition the mfg of the gasket selected would be OK. Most all of the paper or composition material should resist heat a bit.
