Default Head Install

I am doing a Head install in the next couple of weeks and I was shopping around for misc parts and TR's HEAD INSTALL KIT IS $$268$$!!!! D*MN. Granted half the stuff in the kit I didn't need but I thought all I needed were the head gaskets and bolts? Do I NEED intake manifold gaskets and Exhuast manifold gaskets?

Id suggest replacing the exhaust manifold gaskets and head gaskets/bolts with the head install. You should be fine instake gasket wise. Try Thunder Racing cuz they have the Friday the 13th sale and they are the cheapest for gaskets for TODAY! I got my stuff from them within 3 days TOPS and I am very pleased with thier survice, Try them out!

you can reuse exhaust manifold gaskets and intake gaskets no problem.

Mooley... I have used TR before in fact I already order once today, but the website scars me it says there head bolt kit consists of 14 bolts. We have 15 don't we? I am going to call them later today.

Hourang.... That's what I thought.

2003Blue5.7... I will shoot you a PM if I decide to pick them up.

Thanks for the help guys
