well im going to the dealership probably in a week or 2 to pick up the parts for my 6L swap, just want to make sure i dont forget anything. I have to get a timing cover gasket, differential gasket, oil pan gasket, lifters, head gaskets, header gaskets, new oil pimp, and head bolts. am i missing anything here? also should i just get the stock lifters? also, does the type of gasket matter for the heads, im going to put some 243s on it so what type of gasket and head bolts should i get part number wise. thanks fellas

 

I got some MLS(multi layer steel) gaskets.. I think they're hold better than that factory **** that gave up on my 6.0 project.

 

he already has the MLS gasket. I just reused mine. The only thing I brought for my 6.0 swap that I can remember was oil, a filter, and fluids.

 

do you guys upgrade the fuel system at all, or is that not needed ?

 

nope1

 

Technically you don't need any of that stuff for a swap cuz you don't have to take the engine apart.

So if we knew what all you have to do we can tell you what else you might need.
I take it that the engine is in pieces?

 

Tune

 

Where's the sig pic with the big *** burrito (or whatever that was?)...you'll need one of those for the swap

 

i lost it lol, ima have to find it, im just swapping the cam and putting new heads on it, the 4.8 it has now has about 95k on it thats why i want to replace the gaskets

 

there's a seller on ebay, "allthebestpartscheap" or something. his name is in a thread on a s-10 project thread "so I'll call her Mia"

They're listed for $36 for both sides. 5.7 head gaskets mesure 4.00 bore

the Ford dealer by your house has some parts for cheep too!
