It seems so with the head gaskets. I'm sure the intake rubber gaskets are fine if thats what your talking about.

I've had an SLP for a while. I just keep re-using and chopping it to fit. It's a stubby now !! LOL

For the money you might find a better silicone hose. ?

Seems I've finally decided on my mod list for the new setup, so I thought I'd post....

Vic Jr intake w/90* elbow & fuel rails
Twin Walbros w/10? AN lines
FMIC w/ploished alum tubing
UMI tube K-memmber & A-arms
Dbl adj HAL shocks w/325# front springs
Oil cooler
3000 cfm Spal radiator fan
AC & ABS delete

Plus some other minor stuff.....

I can't afford to keep up with "the big boys" but I'm hoping I'll be able to stay in the top 10 with this setup. But as crazy as some people are getting around here, you just never know.

I hear you Mark. Keeping up with Ryan and Robert are an impossible task.

I have some set plans now
1. Install MADMAN suspenion
2. Finish Wieght reduction (not as much as many)
3. Get the new electronics installed
4. Get car painted
5. Finish 325DR install
6. new duel bottle mount setup
7. try to get the car back on the ground

I'll update my progress on my list

radiator
fuel tank
plumbing (fuel, brakes)
start on some wiring (engine, battery relocation with shutoff)

then I'll probably start on body work. I have rocker panels, cab corners, floors to replace, then shave the drip rail, firewall, cowl, and fuel filler hole.

So I have plenty of work to do
