When pulling/replacing the heads which gaskets need to be replaced? I need to get whichever gaskets will be needed for my head swap . My heads are at the machine shop now getting a bit of port/polishing and a 3 angle valve job. So any and all gaskets I need, I need to get them soon. Part #'s are appreciated

Also anyone with long tubes, is there a special gasket needed for these? I got mine used and they didn't come with gaskets.

I'm ready to get this thing running again and want to be sure to get everything I need

 

In regards to your long tubes, your best off using the ford stock metal gaskets. Infact, they are re-usable.

 

head, valve cover, and maybe intake, thats it.

go down to your local ford parts shop, they will give you the part#

 

There should be something called a "Valve Grind Gasket Kit."

Includes: Valve Cover Gaskets, Head Gaskets, Intake Manifold Gaskets, Valve Seals And Thermostat Gasket

The Ford List for the standard 5.4L F-150 kit is $155.77.

 

If you don't mind my asking, who is doing your heads, and what kind of price are you paying. Also, are you having the stock heads ported or did you go with something like mod max?
