Default LT help

I know this has prolly been asked alot and i know this is going to be considered a noob question. But what all is needed for LT install? Can i reuse the gaskets and bolts? or just buy new ones? And any tips or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Get new gaskets. I think you can reuse the stock bolts, not positive though.

I would buy new personally. I got new gaskets from the Ford dealership, and used APR header bolts.

Yea, get new everything. Get the grade 8 locking header bolts and new ford gaskets. You don't wanna put up with a leak man.
