OK, these are all of the things that I have for the install:

Access to a lift
Headers (BBK Ceramic LT's)
Catted H-pipe (BBK as well)
Stage 8 locking bolts
O2 extensions
A friend willing to help

I need new gaskets and am kinda unsure of what to get. If I go to the Ford dealer and get some from there, do I just ask for the exhaust manifold gaskets? The lift that I will be using is in a hobby shop on base so they should have all of the tools that I will need. I cant think of anything else so I am aking you guys. I am planning on installing them this Saturday so I need to get ready quick. Thanks for any help.
 
Yeah, thats about it.......You dont really need a lift It might help, but it might accually take longer with a lift....dunno...........I reused my stock Gaskets....no leaks.......

I used the BBK gaskets and bolts they sent , no problems so far , just used copper spray on the gaskets to stick them on the headers first . put the second bolt on the bottom from the back on the drivers side in the header first and start that bolt first on that side , HINT HINT somehow it binds if you dont do it first .
 
I'd go with the new gaskets they send you. They are sendign them to you for a reason...to use them! Why re use stock gaskets that are used when you have brand new ones?


Still wishing my cobra had headers :(

Well Longtube headers that is. You can't really call the FMS shorties a header I wouldve rather kept the manifolds on now :notnice:
