Always, always, always use the Fel-Pro rubber Perma-Torque gaskets, not the cork garbage. The Perma-Torque is a little more expensive but they seal better and are well worth it.- Clean the heads throughly, make sure there is nothing in the ports (foam/packaging material etc.) - Fel-Pro 9333PT-1 Head Gaskets (AFR website says 1011-1 but after speaking with AFR, you do NOT need 1011-1's, that is directly from AFR.)- Fel-Pro 1250 Intake Gaskets- Fel-Pro VS13264T Rubber Valve Cover Gaskets- Fel-Pro OS34508R Rubber Oil Pan Gasket (No need to drop the pan all the way, just the front. Cut the gasket to fit the front and use Hi-Temp Black Silicone RTV to seal it)- Mr. Gasket 5930 Ultra-Seal Header Gaskets (I've had the best luck with these.)- New 3/4" long header bolts- Edelbrock 7233 Performer/Performer RPM Intake Manifold Gaskets- One-Piece Hardened Pushrods (No ball top rods, I prefer Comp or Manley)- No need for new lifters unless yours are extremely worn.- 3/8" Stud mount rocker (1.6/1.7 based around your cam selection)- Fox valve covers- Melling Double Roller Timing Chain (I got mine from Pep Boys for $30 GET ONE for a Fox, not a 94/95)- ARP Head Bolts 154-3601 or Head Studs 154-4201 (No need for ARP Sleeves for the heads if your using bolts. ARP head bolts have a tapered section towards the top that locate and acts like a 1/2" bolt and I have done this multiple times with zero issues.)- Gasket remover/razor blade and lots and lots and lots of brake cleaner. Clean everything off as much as you can...when it looks clean and good - clean it more.- 2 Ford FLA-1 oil filters and 10 bottles of oil. All said and done, I fill it and run it for about 20 minutes. Then I drain it and do another oil change and it's good to go :thumbsup:I'm sure there is something missing and I'll edit this when I remember lol :laughing4:</blockquote>
