Ya maybe but that was the only option they had at autozone and the only option doorman has for mine I went to there website and that's the only one they sell. I might just go to the junkyard and try to get a couple of them. I just don't want them to be brittle.

Awesome man glad u got her runnin'. About the exhaust leak I say cut it off after the cat lol a buddy of mine has a 97 i think with an open headered 351w and it sounds badass, but thats just how I am lol. Any other noticeable problems yet? Lights, noises, anything?
There is a crossover tube at the back of the heads for the A.I.R. system that commonly leaks on those trucks. It's not too tough to replace if that's the leak.
I have to pass emissions to get my tabs I can't really cut it off and I'll have to check that put but it sounds like it is coming more from the passenger side of the engine so who knows And no I haven't had any problems yet(knock on wood) it runs really smooth and drives fine but I only went 10 mph haha
Well found out today that my truck has a blown head gasket. It's time to take off everything I just put on so I can replace the head gaskets. It's my first time replacing head gaskets any tips or pointer when doing it? I have a Haynes book that pretty much goes step by step in how to do it

well first of all you have to keep organized. keep all the bolts in separate bags and label them so you know where they go. dont rush it. take pictures and document everything. its easier than most people think its just the process is slow, but once you start tearing into it you'll be done in no time. good luck man...
Okay thanks that's some good advice I know it's going to take me a long time. Should I take the heads to a machine shop once I take them off and have them checked?
