Felpro 9333pt1 head gasket or 8548pt2

I'll have to see what intake gaskets I'm using with my gt40 lower setup

I'm using Felpro MS95952

But that's with TFS170 heads and a ported GT40 lower.

I used the Fel-Pro #1011-1 for the head gasket as recommended by AFR. For the intake gasket you can use the FEL-PRO MS95952 like others said. I like it because it has the rubber rail gaskets.

I've been using them along with a small amount a Permatex Ultra Black for a long time on multiple cars with great results. I've tried Permatex Ultra Black only method and was not comfortable with the amount required to get a leak free seal, but each to their own.
