Call went pretty well, he is gonna call me back today or tomorrow. If they do it, I wonder if I can buy the fuel injectors and also have them install them at the same time? And if they would install those good Fel-pro gaskets or if they would reuse the crappy OEM stuff?

You don't want that gaskets set. Felpro has a better set that has a solid strip of metal between the runners and not three rectangular holes which at not use anyway. It is often like a severe duty gaskets so to speak.

You will only need the kit in your link. That provides all the gaskets needed:

Heads
valve covers
TB
upper plenum
lower
headers
with all smaller gaskets needed as well, upper to lower fuel line gaskets and such.

I would buy some extra RTV for the lower "just in case".

OK thanks, thought some of the stuff was duplicate. The RTV you are talking about is the "black" stuff right? Any recommendations?

Again do not buy that set eathier. The one below is better and is will hold up better with premium materials. There is a difference.

Thank you for the link, I really want to make sure it is done right the first time around and anything that will help give me more life out of the motor is appreciated. These head bolts and which lower intake bolts should I be looking at?

Those look right. But use oreilys part site to extract the part numbers and shop for better pricing. I am at work so I can't look ruby now but it is under engine parts, intake manifold bolt kit.

Almost forgot you need two sets of head bolts and only one of intake set.
