You can get the Ford OEM gaskets from AM too but I used FelPro from Advance Auto since it was cheaper. Felpro always makes a quality gasket and never had an issue.<a href="https://www.americanmuscle.com/fordtake-manifold-to-head-gasket-driver-side-9904-gt.html" target="_blank">https://www.americanmuscle.com/fordtake-manifold-to-head-gasket-driver-side-9904-gt.html</a><a href="https://www.americanmuscle.com/ford-intake-to-head-gasket-9904gt.html" target="_blank">https://www.americanmuscle.com/ford-intake-to-head-gasket-9904gt.html</a>You'll also need a new alternator adapter since the PI intake changes it's location (I THINK?

It's about how much you want to invest and what look you're going for. I used Steeda Sport springs and got a 1.5" drop with poly isos. I didn't want to go much more then that as I have long tubes and didn't want to mess with bump steer. Don't go super cheap on this route, but it can also be done at a fair price without going overboard.I've seen guys go 2 to 2.5". Going that low you'll then need to look at bump steer kits and other things to get low like that. I read if you don't pass 1.5" you're good. I can attest to this statement. I simply couldn't go lower because of my long tubes. Currently with a 1.5" drop I have just over .5" of clearance from the long tubes to the pavement (BBK Ceramic LT).I personally did Steeda Sport springs, Koni STR.T shocks and struts, SVE caster/camber plates, and poly isos. Stance of my car (I'm a vert as well, so added weight):<img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/8365/4KOZwW.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/4082/w0SKiW.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  I will eventually swap the SVE caster/camber plates to MM plates. I don't like how cheapish the metal looks/feels. Some guys have cheap caster/camber plates fail on them which is a safety hazard. Some are fine. I don't like taking the risk but this was done so long ago and I didn't know better.</blockquote>
