    Other then different gaskets and bolts I don't have an issue with it, some will say the skirts are too short... They obviously never worked on a coyote motor... Now go back to ignoring it, until it dips below $1500

    Rtv, and flat flanges, I hate changing header gaskets and never met one that didn't eventually fail, hell there O ring heads on exhaust ports now on LS stuff. If you need a gasket I would look for a MLS coated design, I think cosmetic has some for sbf's but probably $50 plus a set. Something...

    There's about 5 different factories knocking them out so quality is all over the place, have to know the differences in the castings from the molds to spot them, Some are better than others, blue prints air gap for the sbf wasn't out when the motortrend media stuff all shut down, it's better...

    BPE doesnt cast anything, its was mostly china for stuff like that, the only thing they do is machine work in NE and better QC on parts they reject... They sell rejects on eBay cheaper. there Marshall engines and a few other companies if you want to look at import data and see who they actually...

    They will fit and work fine, exhaust face on the bpe heads are flat, so should probably seal better than on the old ones. I actually use a modified LS 1 7/8" swap header with those casting and the outside 3" bolt pattern vs the oem ford one, but I ported them a long time ago and was complete...

    Requesting Guidance for 306 motor swap - Fuel? - SD? MAF?

    Stock hood should fit, im guessing they used a spacer and taller valve covers though that raised it up. I like harwood for bolt on hoods but I'm biased and those things are priced stupid now + freight.

    Make sure he hooked up vacuum to the MAP on the firewall and there's no vacuum leaks, good idea to kind of treat them like old carb cars and check with a decent gauge or smoke test it... Lots off ppl forget about the MAP on the old Sd stuff, or leave it off because there used to mass air on...

You can get the swivel impacts in 15pc metric sets from a few brands, Casoman sells the same ones in that kit, seketman has a little bit better set, around $30 each set if you shop around. All these goofy named main land China tools...

    I snagged this for myself as a travel kit/ grab set when they had it for 55 bucks shipped.. That and an Milwaukee bag with a decent ratchet, wrench set bit/ screw driver and m12 fuel impact plus m12 ratchet will cover most everything I would need it to. Decent quality, pretty damn heavy...

    Temporary solution at best

    Just make sure no family member, friends or coworker finds drugs and addiction, lost more tools to that then stuff I actually misplaced. They can sniff out easy money when they need it. They ignore the cheap hand tools.
