oh dont remeind me, i was so close to ordering the 243 on sale form patriot, but that fact is this is a "now" car for me and in 2-3 years a want to sell it for a vette, unforchunatly at 18 years old and in college that 1K in heads that i wont be able to get back will make a huge differnce in wether the i actually get the vette or not.
And anyone know about these Mr. Gasket's ? Maybe I'm stupid for thinking this way but I am hesitant to put AutoZone headgaskets on my car?

If you have valve reliefs they'll work fine for ya but otherwise I'd be hesitant to run .042" thickness gaskets with the T-rex.
