RE: Some things to also consider:

You really don't want to reuse your factory bolts if you can avoid it. The ARP bolts are made with a corresponding parallel-ground washer that keeps the bolt from brinelling the head as the head moves around during heat cycles. They are also much better in the threads and clamping precision.

I'm using the recommended Felpro gaskets. Some folks have had problems with sealing on the intake but mine are fine. You have to be very careful in placing the manifold on the heads to ensure that it is a perfect fit to the head surface. I don't know if you have installed the RPM intake yet and if you have you are already aware of this but if not: A couple of the intake bolts will need to be trimmed down a bit since they won't clear the generous radius of some of the ports. You'll also have to grind down the port side of the distributor hold down since the manifold port won't let it fit.
This thread, so far...
