That is because it is. This is something we released to the public about a year or two ago, nothing to hide lol, if you look at the top right of the page it gives you links to our other sites.



we did this so the guy with the foxbody could just shop foxbody parts or in this case s197 without having to surf through early model or sn95 parts etc. So that should end the conspiracy theory on that one lol.

Ok here is the deal, the kit you see from us is a factory ford set. That kit is all 8 that you need to redo your gaskets. Ford sells them individually,

Mustang Ford Intake Manifold Gasket GT (Pre 5/27/08) 2005-2008 - CJ Pony Parts
Pardon the picture this is wrong.

Ford requires 8 of these but sell them individually. We took it a step further and made it a kit for those that want to replace all 8.

Mustang Ford Intake Manifold Gasket Set GT (Pre 5/27/08) 2005-2008

The kit you linked from LMR is a Fel-Pro kit which we sell, our part number is IMG26, (not currently on the web but will be on in a few days) for the same price of $14.99.

What it boils down to is, if you want Ford OEM product you have to pay the hefty price. If you want a kit that isn't Ford but will still do the job you go with the Fel-Pro kit. I hope this clears up the situation.
