Use the Fel-pro. I used stock ford and they wouldn't seal for chit.....the fel-pro's were cheap and haven't leaked.

Glad to see you got the good exhaust.

Just about everyone says use stock ford gaskets (however, I would not re-use them...be smart and spend the 20 bucks on new ones and save the misery of a potential leak). Fel-Pro or Mr. Gasket's also work good and are recommended by Stainless Works.

And definetly use locking stage 8 header bolts. I have an extra set that is brand new, never opened for sale (cheap) if you're interested...

I'd buy them from you but I need them tommarow. Does anyone know where I can buy these stage 8 fasteners from? What about the ARP header bolts,are they as good?
Thanks

I got my Stage 8 fasteners from either Summit or Jeg's... can't remember which. They probably won't be able to get them to you by tomorrow though.

Does anyone have a part # to the 03-04 Cobra Fel-Pro header gaskets? I have a set but they really dont match perfect. I could probably take a porting bit and clean the corners up but I'd rather not. The part # I have is 95949. Any help would be appreciated.
