I know alot of guys are re-using ex. manifold gaskets but I'd recommend new head gaskets... I'm running the stockers now and praying I don't blow one. The Comitecs(sp?) I ordered are not here yet but my ARP head bolts were so I couldn't wait.

As stated above, your stock pusrods will be fine... especially if you don't set you RPMs too high, but hardened ones are a good investment.

 

Yea I already got a set of new head gaskets, did you see a nice gain by changing heads?

 

yes, it was a noticeable gain.
