RE: Engine Rebuild
I would definitly not buy all the gaskets from ford. They charge about 60 bucks for one head gasket. FRPP has a head gasket changing kit for 110 bucks. It comes with the head gaskets, head bolts, dipstick tube. Then if you want you could buy all the rest of the gaskets from ford; exhaust manifold, intake manifold, valve cover, timing cover. Then you probably would want to change the bolts and studs like the exhaust manifold studs. If you want also you could buy all the ARP studs, bolts, and nuts for this like I did, but it's a fortune. I also recommend getting a new water pump, 180 t-stat, timing chains while your putting it all back together.
