Default Sway Bar and Intake Gasket!?

Hey everyone, i havent been on in a while because ive been so busy. I also picked up an 88 f250 thats been keeping me busy...but the stang has been out due to nice weather, but now its run into some problems. I am trying to figure out what the diameter of the stock front sway bar is so i can get new bushings for it. so if anyone knows or recommends particular bushings that would be awesome. Second is, I picked up a Professional Products intake and I have no clue where to get the gasket to go between the upper and lower intakes. Good to be back and thanks for any and all help!

intake should be almost the same as edelbrock performer, so it might use the same gaskets

Id contact the company you bought it from to see what gasket it needs save you time and the hassle of trying to figure it out as for the sway bar when i did mine i had to go to a dealship to get mine because they were either to big or way to small to slide on even tried lubbing them with some vasoline to help slide it on

yea i got the intake from a guy on craigslist, so i dunno what company he got it from, but all i know is its a professional products. yea, i can go to the dealer but if im replacing the bushings id rather go with some eurethane ones just for peace of mind ya know...summit has a bunch of sets but they have like three or four different sizes

yea im not actually switching sway bars...the front bar is plenty thick but the drivers side bushing is totally shot to hell. and the car is now making a horrible clunk whenever i turn, accelerate or brake, so i assume the bushing is to blame. SO i am just looking for a stock size replacement

Ryan, I think I have a gasket set in my garage. I'll look later and get you a part #. I bought them from Summit.
