and for the header bolts Will, I used those locking ones with the headers i did on 01 5.4L (OBX) and he hasnt had any problems with them. And i believe we reused the hardware on Jwool's but i could be wrong. And other then him having a paper gasket fail immediately he hasnt had any issues with them.
and lmk if you need me to get the Ford gaskets, ive got the hookups on parts, very similar to Tasca pricing, but without the shipping

Dang Pat, Ian. That's rough.
I'll make the call on the gaskets when I get the kit in. I asked FF what the OBX gaskets are made from and he couldn't recall. He reused his stock studs and nuts and OBX gaskets and hasn't had any problems with them. I think the locking bolts are a good idea so that's why I went with them. Extensions are 18" long, and I called Dynatech and asked about their extensions, 14" long. Since the OBX's are DT knockoffs the extensions should be good. I just wanted to make sure they'd work. We can tie them back if needed.
