Long story short, I have GT40P heads and intake. Intake is ALL ready to go; sandblasted, drilled and tapped for ACT and EGR, TB's been converted, EGR has been bored, but the heads won't be done until July 15th.
Now, I am dying to put the intake on, just cuz I have it.
Question is: can I re-use the lower intake-to-head gaskets in 3 weeks if I install new ones now? How about the upper-to-lower gaskets?
Also, will I need Explorer-specific lower intake-to-head gaskets or will stock Mustang ones work?
Thanks,
jeremy

i dont think so, but i took mine off after 3 months and they looked to be in good enough shape, but i got new ones anyway.....the reason i didnt want to reuse them was because i used a little RTV on em and they were kinda gunky..
