There is no upper end kit even from Ford. All the gaskets including the supercharger and intercooler gaskets are sold individually. Take your VIN to a Ford parts dept and be prepared to be there a long time while they look up all the required gaskets.

^ Run a search for "clunk," as IRS cobras are known to have that infamous clunking noise. You'll find a few past threads about cures and remedies, or some folks who have just learned to live with it.
