The lines are the coolant lines, you can get those from SLP. I dont know the part number for them...

You will need 2 plugs for the back of the heads, and a crossover tube for the front. The new intake will have all the gaskets in it. Also when removing the intake take the big vac hose off the brake booster and follow it behind the intake it goes behind the oil pressure sending unit(which is plastic). When pulling the intake forward make sure that hose doesn't snap the sending unit off the block. Also texas speed carries those coolant plugs/tube.

No gaskets needed. I just swapped mine last week. The intake has silicone-like gaskets molded into the TB neck and at the intake ports.
