What gaskets did you use Mike? I've always had good luck with the bassani header gaskets, never had a problem one with them leaking....

This was a tough call, but they didn't come with any gaskets (used) and I searched EVERY site (yes, even the forbidden one, lol) and decided to reuse the stock Ford gaskets. I almost replaced them with new Ford's but they were almost $100 for the set.....NO THANK YOU. Unless they leak then I will be doing this to myself:

Oh yeah, in case anyone was interested, I was NOT speed shifting. I was lifting off the throttle on every shift.
I am just that fast with the footwork.

Thanks for the reply. It's too late now anyway. Cars up on stands (four) brakes and frontend is already apart. I've done this a hundred times before, so it went fast. I will tackle the K-member Tue, being that it's mothers day, I have a busy day of MOM STUFF to do. I didn't order a new K-member, just going to put the factory back in. I'll be sc in the next few weeks, however, it's a roots so I don't think I'll have any issues.
