what type of manifold gaskets?
what type of intake manifold gaskets shouldI buy? I have an '87 5.0 HO with stock heads and an Edelbrock Performer 289 carb intake. will OEM style gaskets work? I'm gonna order some fel-pros from Advance...
and a big ol' doomsday device to obliterate that stripped bolt!!

RE: what type of manifold gaskets?
I gotcha.
work on my swap has halted due to a stripped transmission bolt (of all things[:@]) and I work both jobs, mon, tues, and wed... so I cant get **** done... my dad is gonna try to drill out the bolt for me tomorrow if he has time, I'm flogging on the car so I can get the 3.8 pulled by the weekend. ( also work a double on friday... someone shoot me now.... non fatally though)
at least I get paid on friday[8D]

I stripped the head of it somehow... it was really stuck on...
I took a breaker bar to it first, cracked the socket in half... then tool an open end to it and just stripped the hex to pieces somehow.....

they sell sockets just for that so you dont have to drill out the bolt you hit it on with a hammer a little to get it started and the its got almost like sharp blades that will dig into the head of the bolt as you turn it so it will take it right out. try getting one of those oh and a torch would help too

yea get some easy outs or bolt extractors.... u drill them in and the take a wrench or rachet and comes rite out... a torch and penetraing oil are good ideas to help to it may be locktited so a torch would be required for sure
