I would replace the two lower ones ($21) but you can re-use the upper one for your upper plenum.

Replace them, its cheap insurance and you dont want to get done with the install, have a leak, and have to do it all over again.

www.50resto.com has the gaskets for cheap...or maybe its shm(www.seanhylandmotorsports.com)....one of the two.

you can reuse your old gaskets, just clean them off good and check for cracks

If MustangMods would ever respond to my emails and reinstate my paid account... I would show you the wear and tear on the lower gaskets from the heat of the heads. It's in my slide show. Replace... they are not meant to be reused. Upper one can be cause no real heat on the seal.

The intake manifold gaskets are reusable, as are most modular gaskets. As long as they're in good contition, I wouldn't give it a second thought.
