lower intake bolts in proper sequence i tq them just like the heads in 3 steps. 7ft/lbs, 15ft/lbs and finally 25 ft/lbs for lower intake. everything else i just stager my pattern and check it 3 times when i tighten them just a 1/4 turn past hand tight(valve covers, plenum)

what parts stores do you have around there. any advanced, auto zone, napa, or O'Reillys auto parts store should carry that upper to lower intake gasket. not saying youll need one like everyone else says, they dont take the beating the rest do. but ill almost positive that advanced would carry that gasket. they wouldnt be a parts store if they didnt. someones gotta have one if you need it.

I have Napa and Speedy. I am on an island in Canada so Advance is a no go haha. I went and bought the valve cover gaskets today and no luck on the upper intake. The thing is around here a 5L mustang isn't very common I have seen 4 EFI 5L in my area including mine haha. I think I am gonna take it apart and hope it's good to reuse haha.
