ok, i'm about to put do a h/c swap. i got the p/p intake with gaskets. i'm putting on gt40p heads(hoping felpro intake gaskets work), and i'm putting in a comp xe270. i'm wondering what all gaskets i need to buy for this thing, and if the felpro gaskets that i bought to put the intake on e7 heads will work just the same for gt40p heads.
so if you know what all i need to buy, gaskets bolts and stuff, i could use some help here. also if there are any small things to know in order to help the process.

Go to advance auto and buy a complete intake manifold gasket set for a '98 explorer, it's what I did and it came with everything needed for the intakes. You'll also need timing cover gasket, water pump, thorttle bodly, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few more. Get new head bolts, and new intake manifold bolts I'd definitely recommend.

While your at it I would get new gaskets for your exhaust manifold as well, mine were destroyed. I think he pretty much covered everything but make sure you get new head bolts, that is very important and get some silicone for the gaskets and some red locktite to put on the threads of your head bolts!

I bought a complete Fel Pro gasket set that includes all the gaskets youll need from Summit.
Im changing heads and a cam real soon and other parts I bought were lifters, roller rockers, pushrods, new water pump, timing chain, ARP head bolts, thread sealer for head bolts and probably a few other parts.
