Ive tried to to look for them in 2v..you have to forgive me just got out of surgery 5 hours ago. Percy is the name brand..heres is a jegs link but it is for 3v. I honestly never had a problem with them. I put them on when I had the stock engine and left them on when I swapped the lightning blower. http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...&storeId=10001

Edit: their website.. Percy's Seal-4-Good Reusable Flange Gaskets are multi-layered and made from a special "Dead Soft" aluminum that conforms to header flanges for the ultimate seal. Because made from multiple layers of dead soft metal, Seal-4-Good easily conforms to small imperfections that copper gaskets simply can't, and these gaskets will not blow out or burn out when properly installed.

Ah, thanks for the linky. Looks like good stuff.

Oh, well you better get back to healing. Hope you have plenty of Windex on hand. Heard that stuff makes for a speedy recovery...if you have any Greek in yuh.

Really? Eric(RideThe) a Ford Master SVT Tech that basically know everything about Ls has told me not only OEM but there even isn't a need to buy new ones. Reusing the OEMs are find! A friend took that advice when installing Kook LTs on his 03 HD and there are no issues!! BTW, I ran OEM gaskets but I also ran OEM manifolds. Wayne

[MENTION=64669]jferg92[/MENTION] have you seen the dual fuel pumps for sale on LR for $75? Not 255's but would probably suit your needs.

You guys having header sealing problems... Before you install them run a straight edge down the flange, if they are crazy off, take them to a machine shop and have them level'd.

I don't know if ford uses the same as chevy, but we don't run header gaskets... We use the factory style metal manifold gaskets.
