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.

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
