I got BBK LT headers, getting ready to install. I heard that I may need a new dipstick for the oil? Which one should I get, or will the LT's not be in the way?

I didn't need a new dipstick, I just had to bend the bracket a bit. If you can't make that work, Lokar makes a nice dipstick that's flexible so it'll go wherever you want.

copper gaskets are the best to get... I'm running Fel Pro 1450's (?) I think and I've had them on/off a few times and they still work great.

Im with HairyCanary on this one. I had to bend the bracket a tad, right at the fork which hugs the header bolt. Have fun with the new LTs!
