PI Cam and Intake swap gasket kit, no heads

[Ruffellbaker]

Im have a 97GT and I just bought used PI Cams and intake off of a 2003 GT. I know I need the cam gear bolt but what about intake gaskets and other things? Ive been looking for a kit but cant find one with just the gaskets and stuff without the intake manifold. I just need the parts, I already have the intake.

Try the Ford dealership. IIRC I got everything necessary to do the intake and cam swap from ford for under $50.

I got the cam bolts from the Ford dealership for like $8, and Advance Auto has a gasket kit for around $20.

Thanks that sounds great. I actually just got hired at Advance Auto Parts so Ill be able to get a decent discount. Do I need the gasket from the PI intake manifold or the nPI? Im guessing NPI

Ohhhh, the IRONY.

Sorry, just too funny for me.

There are lots of detailed instructions for the intake and cam swaps online. Find a set and use them. You might want to consider replacing the timing chain guides and chains, especially if you have more than about 120k miles. PI gaskets work well for most but you have to put a few dabs of silicon on the water ports.
